The Baltimore Orioles picked UC-Davis' Eddie Gamboa in the 21st round, the 626th overall pick.
Gamboa, a right-handed pitcher, went 4-1 with a 1.74 ERA last summer for the Express. After beginning the season in the bullpen, he stepped into the starting rotation in place of the injured Jon Ganzen and never left. Gamboa earned the victory in game three of the Northwoods League South Division playoffs, beating the Green Bay Bullfrogs on the road to get the Express into the NWL championship series.
It's hard to find a nicer guy than Eddie, who was a favorite of everyone in the Carson Park press box.
