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.
The 6-foot lefty struck out 127 in 95 innings for New Orleans as a junior in 2018 while posting a 2.87 ERA in 16 starts. He is a two-time all-conference selection in the Southland Conference.
“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.”
