Truro Bearcats

The Los Angelas Dodgers selected Steve Nelson of the Dartmouth Moosehead Dry in the 5th round, 160th overall, in Major League Baseball's annual amateur draft. The 6'3 RHP who also is splitting time with the Nova Scotia Canada games team became the highest picked Nova Scotian in Major League Baseball history passing for Sackville Chief Trevor Wamback, who was selected in the 22nd round in 1998. Luis Roberts who also plays for both the Dry and Nova Scotia's Canada games team went in the 38th round to the New York Mets. The selection of the six foot, 193 pound Roberts, marked the first time that two high school aged players from Nova Scotia were picked in the Major League Baseball draft. Steve Trosclair, formerly of the Truro Bearcats, was also selected by the Anaheim Angels in the 36th round.
