The Hamptons is a breeding ground for big leaguers, as 19 Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League alumni were taken in the 2014 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft, held June 5 to 7.

Taken highest was Mac James, formerly of the 2013 Shelter Island Bucks, who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 6th Round.

Also taken by the Rays was Water Mill’s Chris Pike, a 2010 Southampton High School graduate and former player for HCBL’s Southampton Breakers. The pitcher was taken in the 9th round.

Tyler Badamo, Center Moriches ’12, New York Mets in the 24th round

Brandon Thomas, Center Moriches ’12, Kansas City Royals in the 24th round

David Speer, Southampton ’11, Cleveland Indians in the 27th round

Brant Whiting, Southampton ’11 and ’12, Los Angeles Dodgers in the 30th round

Eric Peterson, Southampton ’12, Houston Astros in the 37th round

JJ Franco, Sag Harbor ’11, ’12 and ’13, Atlanta Braves in the 38th round

MLB’s newly minted rookies need only to look to Sag Harbor native son Kyle McGowin for inspiration on moving up in the farm system. McGowin was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim last year, and he was recently promoted to the team’s Double-A affiliate in Arkansas. The pitcher was named the Angels’ most valuable farm player during the month of April.

The Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League kicked off the 2014 season last week.
