mmastovich@tribdem.comJOHNSTOWN — Richland High School’s Austin Urban had heard he might be picked anywhere from the fourth to the eighth round of Tuesday’s Major League Baseball first-year player draft.
The 17-year-old Penn State recruit also knew he might go later. There’s no exact science to baseball’s draft.
When the phone finally rang, the Baltimore Orioles were calling in the 27th round, making the right-handed pitcher, who also plays second base for Delweld in the AAABA League, the 808th pick overall.
