BOCA RATON, Fla. – On Tuesday, Florida Atlantic University baseball catcher Pedro Pages became the latest Owl to the pros, as he was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals.
Pages, a junior team captain and the reigning Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year, was taken by St. Louis as the 185th overall pick on Tuesday. Former Owl Austin Gomber is a current member of the Cardinals' organization, as a fourth round pick in 2014. Gomber made his MLB debut nearly a year ago today, on June 2, 2018. All-time, St. Louis has drafted seven Owls, including the team's second-ever Major Leaguer, Carmen Cali (taken in 2000, debuted in 2004).
A total of 95 Owls have now been drafted, since the first picks in program history in 1984, and Pages is the 31st draftee since Head Coach John McCormack took over in 2009. This also now marks 14 straight drafts - and 20 of the last 21 - in which an FAU player has been taken. The potential remains for more Owls to hear their name called on Wednesday, when rounds 11-40 concludes the three-day proceedings, beginning at noon on MLB.com.
