Baseball: Local Draft Prospects

Major League Baseball's first-year continues with rounds three through 10 at 1 p.m. Friday. Here are some of the Southeastern Pennsylvania high school senior players and draft-eligible college players with area ties who could be tabbed either today or tomorrow:

HIGH SCHOOL

Josh Ockimey, Neumann-Goretti, 1B. The 6-3, 225-pound Ockimey worked out for the Phillies Tuesday and last Saturday at Citizens Bank Park. He was batting .515 (35 for 68) with 32 RBIs and 29 runs prior to Thursday's PIAA Class AA state quarterfinal vs. Bloomsburg. Boston, Miami, Minnesota, and St. Louis have also shown interest.

Zach Schellenger, Devon Prep, RHP. Despite being shelved since early April with a strained flexor muscle, the 6-6, 205-pounder, who throws a fastball that has topped out at 94 m.p.h., could still be selected.
