Dodgers draft LHP Bryan Warzek in the 6th round, No. 194 overall

Left-handed pitcher Bryan Warzek from the University of New Orleans is the Dodgers’ sixth-round pick, No. 194 overall in the 2018 MLB Draft.

“It is a surreal feeling,” said Warzek. “I want to thank my coaches, teammates, family and friends. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to play for New Orleans. To be drafted by an amazing organization is a blessing.”

Baseball America ranked Warzek the 488th-best prospect in the draft, noting, “Scouts generally believe that Warzek’s pro future will end up being in the bullpen.”
