Tyler Pill, a right-handed pitcher from Covina High, was chosen in Round 38 by the Colorado Rockies on Friday. Pill, who was named the Valle Vista League co-MVP, was the 1,157th overall selection of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft.

Pill has a scholarship offer from Cal State Fullerton. His brother, Brett, who played for the Titans, was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2006.

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