University of Connecticut senior first baseman Mike Nemeth, who graduated from Warren Hills in 2007, was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Wednesday.
Nemeth was taken in the 21st round (No. 641 overall). The 6-foot-1, 210-pounder, who bats left-handed, batted .359 (93-for-259) with 49 runs scored, three homers and 51 RBIs this season.
As a junior he appeared in a record-breaking 64 games and led UConn with a .386 batting average and in doubles with 20, RBIs with 84 and in hits with 98. Nemeth also blasted 15 homers and scored 63 runs.
Nemeth was an All-Big East Second Team selection in 2010.
In high school, Nemeth was a three-year letterwinner for the Blue Streaks and was voted MVP for his final two seasons. He finished as Warren Hills' career hits leader with 107 (until Ryan McCormick broke that mark in 2010) and holds single-season records for hits with 43 and RBIs with 34. He batted. 420 for his career at the Washington school.
