Miguel Flores, a right-handed pitcher from Cerritos College by way of St. John Bosco High, was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 16th round Friday with the 485th pick overall in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft.

Travis Babin, a right-handed pitcher from Sonoma State by way of Saugus High, was taken 494th by the New York Mets.

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