Royals Select Matt Moustakas

The Royals took shortstop/third baseman Matt Moustakas with their first pick in the 2007 draft. He's put up some rather freakish offensive numbers in high school, including:

  • hitting .577 this spring with 24 HR and 52 RBI
  • hitting .427 his junior year with 14 HR and 47 RBI
  • hitting .482 his sophomore year with 12 HR and 51 RBI

UPDATE (June 14): Thanks to guys over at In Dayton We Trust for pointing out that I mistakenly identified the Royals first round draft choice as Matt Moustakas when his name is Mike Moustakas. I initially took his name from Bob Dutton's column, in which Dutton listed his name as Matt.
