"Just like Jack, Alejandro and Chris played major roles in our success this season, and we will now be big fans on theirs as they begin their careers. " Brian Bass signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers with his side arm arsenal and the Eagles senior All-American catcher signed with the Florida Marlins.
In 2014 Faulkner pitchers Jay Gause and Thomas Dorminy were both selected in the 10th round of Major League Baseball's first-year player draft Friday June 6, becoming the second and third Eagle players to go in the top 10 rounds in the past three years.
