The Cleveland Indians kept an Ohio native in his home state with the No. 1 overall pick in the June amateur draft.

The Indians selected Ohio University All-American infielder Mike Schmidt Saturday to open the second annual draft.

Cleveland brass indicated that the Dayton native will likely begin his playing career in the big leagues rather than in the minors.

Schmidt, 21, helped lead the Ohio Bobcats to the most recent College World Series.

San Diego chose right fielder Dwight Evans with the second pick. A year ago, the Padres had the No. 1 selection and took pitcher Jon Matlack (who has since been traded). Cleveland took pitcher J.R. Richard with the No. 2 pick last summer.

Montreal grabbed pitcher Rick "Big Daddy" Reuschel with the third pick. Milwaukee followed by taking infielder Buddy Bell fourth. Detroit tabbed hard-throwing pitcher Rich Gossage at No. 5.

Nine pitchers were chosen in the first round. A year ago, there were 16 pitchers taken.
