Frontier League Draft Next Week


Manager Gregg Langbehn will head to the Frontier League tryout camp next week along with Director of Baseball Operations Jason Wuerfel and the remainder of the Frontier League looking for talent to add to the roster...

The tryout camp will be hosted by the Washington Wild Things at CONSOL Energy Park on May 4-5...The draft will take place on May 5 and teams are required to take at least two players from the draft to spring training...

The Beach Bums own the eighth pick of the 2009 draft and will pick eighth in each of the subsequent rounds based off of last season's performance...The Midwest Sliders of Ypsilanti own the first choice while Evansville and River City each have two first round selections...

Last season the Beach Bums selected Pete McEneaney (Pictured) with the sixth pick of the first round and added two others (Will Jackel and Charlie Yarbrough) in the second and third rounds...McEneaney spent the entire season in a Beach Bums uniform...

Nick Pepper was also a Frontier League draft choice, taken by Kalamazoo in the first round of the 2007 draft, which was the last time it was held at Washington...
