The first draftee in 1983 was a starting pitcher out of Mississippi. Jordan Rogers was originally drafted by the Marlins out of an Illinois high school with the 6th overall pick in 1980 but did not sign. He is an extreme groundballer with a sinker, curveball, and changeup repertoire.


Centerfielder Dave Yang was drafted third overall out of Michigan State and has gold-glove talent and high-end speed. He also has the ability to make an impact at the plate.


The first high school draftee was Johnny Alexander, a starting pitcher out of Reagan, Texas. He too is a groundballer and has the potential for elite control.
