Shane Boras, the eldest son of baseball agent Scott Boras and a second baseman at JSerra High, was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals Friday in the 35th round of Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft with the 1,055th overall selection.

The analyst on MLB.com were joking that Shane was a casualty of the Boras effect.

Virgil Hill, an outfielder from Los Angeles Mission College by way of Valencia High, was selected 1,054th by the Oakland Athletics, and Mike Vass, an outfielder from Chapman University by way of Villa Park High and Cypress College, was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers with pick No. 1,058.

Logan Gelbrich, a catcher from the University of San Diego by way of St. Monica High, was taken 1,065th by the San Diego Padres.

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