Matt Clark, a first baseman from Louisiana State by way of Etiwanda High and Riverside College, was selected by the San Diego Padres with the 375th overall pick of Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft on Friday.

You can catch Clark in action on ESPN this weekend when LSU plays host to UC Irvine in a Super Regional. The winner advances to the College World Series in Omaha.

Guido Fonseca, a right-handed pitcher from Northern Iowa by way of West Covina High and East Los Angeles Collge, was selected by the Cleveland Indians with pick No. 318.

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