UWM Panther gets drafted by the Brewers
The Major League Baseball draft took place over the past two days and a local "feel good" story has developed. One of our very own UWM Panthers baseball players was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers. Here's the news brief from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
The Brewers selected University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee outfielder Mike Goetz today in the 25th round of the Major League draft.Congratulations and good luck to Mike!
Goetz was the Horizon League player of the year as well as the NCAA Division I batting champion with a school-record .493 batting average. He reached base safely in all 57 of the Panthers' games, collecting hits in all but two.
Goetz had hitting streaks of 32 and 27 games and also led the nation with a .579 on-base percentage.
