Round 5 - No. 161
Michael Suchy, OF
Pittsburgh Pirates
Eagles outfielder Michael Suchy became the second highest MLB pick in FGCU history today as the Pittsburgh Pirates selected the junior with the 161st overall pick (5th round). Suchy hit .318 this season, including 49 RBIs and 8 home runs. The 6-foot-4 outfielder was named to the All Atlantic Sun First Team and started in all 60 appearances he made. His power and athleticism will be strengths at the next level, but he will have to limit his strikeouts.
Round 8 - No. 235
Dash Winningham, 1B
New York Mets
A Trinity Catholic High School slugger and Florida Gulf Coast signee, Winningham was the first of FGCU's commits to hear their name called. Last season, the 6-foot-2 first baseman knocked in 36 RBIs on his way to a .410 avg and a 4A State Championship. Signs point to Winningham signing with the Mets but nothing is official yet.
STILL ON THE BOARD
Zack Tillery - 3B/RHP
Devin Smeltzer - LHP (signee)
Jack English - RHP
Nick Deckert - LHP
Cody Hoffner - OF
Alex Diaz - SS
