Chris Reed played high school baseball 20 miles from Dodger Stadium. Tonight, the Dodgers made the Stanford closer the 16th pick in the First-Year Player Draft.

Reed is 6-2 with a 2.54 ERA in 49.2 innings this season. The lefty has 9 saves, 48 strikeouts against 15 walks, and has held opponents to a .201 batting average. The junior was the first Cardinal player and the third Pac-10 player selected in this year's draft. UCLA pitchers Gerrit Cole and Trevor went first and third, respectively, to the Pirates and Diamondbacks.
