In the 2010 Draft, the Brewers #1 pick was a RHP from a high school in California named Dylan Covey. "In his senior season, Covey went 7-1 with a 0.40 ERA and three saves with 138 strikeouts compared to 20 walks in 70 2/3 innings pitched for Maranatha High School." Extremely solid numbers. Could be another Gallardo.
There was an interesting tidbit buried in this story about Covey. Apparently, Dylan has 2 older brothers. Dylan's mom was going to stop having kids after her first 2 sons and so she got a hysterectomy. Dylan wasn't supposed to have been born. For reasons not explained in the story, Dylan's mom had the procedure reversed. She gave birth to Dylan on July 19, 1991, and now he is headed to the major leagues with a $1.7 million signing bonus and a very promising future (assuming he signs, which he is expected to do).
