The Milwaukee Brewers used the 14th pick in the first round of Major League Baseball’s June draft on California high school right hander Dylan Covey.
Covey said he hadn’t had a lot of contact with the Brewers and therefore was surprised to get selected 14th overall by the team.

Covey said in a conference call on Monday night that there was quite an uproar at his house when his name was announced.
Covey has a scholarship offer to the University of San Diego, but he made it perfectly clear that he wants to turn pro right away if he can.
