Mankato, Minn. \u2013 The Mankato MoonDogs saw perhaps their largest crop of former and current players taken in this year\u2019s Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, as eight more \u2018Dogs were selected yesterday to bring the total of MoonDogs selected to a whopping 22 players. <\/p>\n

Four current MoonDogs were selected, with Bennett Whitmore (Oregon) coming off the board first in the 32nd round to the Seattle Mariners. Whitmore has yet to arrive in Mankato, as the big righty finished up his year at Oregon, pitching in 15 games while accumulating 35 strikeouts in 46.2 innings.<\/p>\n

Jacob Petricka (Indiana State) was next, going to the New York Yankees in the 34th round. Petricka was 7-3 with a 4.76 ERA for the Sycamores this spring, and is currently 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA for the MoonDogs. Jimmy Patterson (Central Arizona) was taken just three picks after Petricka, falling to the Boston Red Sox. Patterson, a two-way player, was selected as a pitcher after compiling a 12-2 record with a 1.54 ERA and 117 strikeouts.<\/p>\n

The last of the \u201909 \u2018Dogs to be taken was Chris Murrill (Nicholls State). Murrill was snatched up by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 35th round. Murrill has been the catalyst for the MoonDogs offense thus far, posting a .302 average with 10 RBI, four stolen bases and a home run. This spring he posted a .344 average with 27 stolen bases at Nicholls. <\/p>\n

Four other former players were selected, with one final member from the 2008 playoff team being selected. Justin Milo (Vermont) was taken in the 37th round by the Yankees after his junior season with the Catamounts. Milo was a 10-day member of the 2008 squad putting up a .303 average with seven runs and three stolen bases in his nine game stint with the squad. <\/p>\n

The final three former MoonDogs were selected were Garrett Claypool (UCLA, 2007), Tom Porter (Elon, 2006-07) and Jason Novak (UCLA, 2006). <\/p>\n
