Drew Vettleson was a first-rounder in 2010.
Vettleson hit .490 as a high school senior and had a 1.35 ERA on the hill. He was picked by the Tampa Bay Rays with their third first-round choice of the 2010 amateur draft, following Josh Sale and Justin O'Conner. Only one other player had ever gone to the minors from his high school - Todd Linden, who made it to the big leagues. He debuted as a pro with the 2011 Princeton Rays on June 21, going 2 for 4 with a steal and a run against the Burlington Royals. He was at .243/.263/.297 after 8 games as a pro, with 11 strikeouts in 37 at-bats.
