Los Osos’ Jake Hernandez No. 4 catcher in MLB draft

According to ESPN.com’s Keith Law, Los Osos High School’s Jake Hernandez is the 4th-ranked catcher in the upcoming Major League Baseball first-year player draft. Not just the 4th-ranked high school catcher, but the fourth-best at his position of any player eligible for the June 7-9 draft. A high compliment for the 6-foot-1, 180-pound 17-year-old signed with USC.

Because Keith Law is an ESPN “insider” I can’t provide a link to the rankings, but here are the local high schoolers in his top 100 players eligible for the draft.

37. Jake Hernandez, C, Los Osos
47. Griffin Murphy, LHP, Redlands East Valley
58. Vincent Velasquez, RHP/C, Garey
91. Scott Frazier, RHP, Upland
