Wagner's Andrew Bailey Drafted by Milwaukee Brewers in 16th Round

6/8/2005

Staten Island, NY - Wagner pitcher Andrew Bailey (Haddon Height's NJ / Paul VI HSa) was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 16th round in Day One of the 2005 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Bailey was the 475th overall pick.

In the 2005 season as a junior, Bailey posted a 3-2 record and struck out 47 batters in 41.2 innings of work before going down with injury. The 6-2, 220-pounder from Haddon Heights, NJ yielded just 16 earned runs and walked just 12 batters while allowing opposing hitters to hit only .245 against the righty.

Bailey had “Tommy John” surgery in May and will be out until Spring 2006.  "We liked his arm before the surgery," said Brewers scouting director Jack Zduriencik said. "With some of these things, you roll the dice. Maybe we'll uncover something here that could be good for us."
