Kevin Childs |
Culver-Stockton College pitcher Kevin Childs was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 36th round (1,087th pick overall) of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft Thursday morning.
Childs is the third Wildcat player to be drafted since 2000, and the first since Jose Tadeo was taken by the New York Yankees in the 2004 draft. Shortstop Erick Contreras (2000 Atlanta Braves) was the other former Wildcat drafted.
Childs, a 6-3, 195-pound junior right-hander from Stockton, Calif. (St. Mary's HS/Delta College), pitched out of the bullpen for the Wildcats this spring.
Childs appeared in nine games for the Wildcats, striking out 10 batters in 8 1/3 innings. He allowed four runs (two earned) for a 2.16 earned run average, walked six and hit five batters. Opponents batted .194 against him in 31 at-bats.
Culver-Stockton, located in Canton, Mo., is affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and is a member of the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC).
