Brandon Magee, an outfielder from Corona Centennial who was also a strong safety for the football team, was the first player selected in Round 29 of Friday’s Major League Baseball first-year player draft. Magee was selected with the 863rd pick overall by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Stephen Penny, a right-handed pitcher from UC Riverside who’s from the San Diego area, was taken 882nd by the Seattle Mariners, and Ryan McCarney, a right-handed pitcher from College of the Canyons by way of Vazquez High, was selected by the Cleveland Indians with pick No. 891.

If I’ve missed any of our local players who have been drafted out of college, let me know!
