The first draftee in 1982 is Dusty Maga, who took a chance on returning to school after getting drafted 6th overall last year. He is a fairly well-polished and durable lefty starter with just shy of an ace ceiling.


The top high school draftee was also a pitcher. Apollino Salinas won the Marlon Pepper pitching award twice and the Aiden Shelton MVP once in the Oregon School Activities Association and signed extremely quickly with the Astros.


Neal Duke, this year's Phoenix Amoss MVP award at Texas Tech, was the top hitter drafted. The Rockies took him with the 8th overall pick.
