HS BASE: 1st-round pick Montgomery: "Everyone was going crazy!"

Hart's Michael Montgomery, chosen as a supplemental pick in the first round by Kansas City Royals (36th overall), is finally calming down a few hours after fulfilling his lifelong dream of being drafted by a Major League team.

"We had some friends over, and I was getting a little nervous and kind of sweating it out through the first round," Montgomery said. "Then when my name was called, everyone was going crazy, and I couldn't even hear the TV. I think they said something about basketball, but I couldn't even hear it. I'm finally calming down from all the excitement."

Montgomery has signed to play college baseball at Cal State Fullerton, but he almost certainly will forego the scholarship to join the Royals organization immediately.

Montgomery's agent, Paul Cohen, of Encino, said signability won't be an issue.

"I was on the phone with the Royals' scouting director yesterday, and they pretty much told me they were going to draft him if Michael fell to (No. 36), Cohen said. "At this point it's highly unlikely he won't sign. We're excited for Michael. Kansas City is a good place for him because they're really committed to developing high school players."

In the second round, outfielder Cutter Dykstra of Westlake was picked by the Milwaukee Brewers, No. 54 overall.

"It's awesome. Just great. This is a dream come true," Dykstra said. "That's a good spot for me."

Dykstra plans to turn pro instead of playing at UCLA.

"I think I'm going," Dykstra said.

In the third round, Edgar Olmos, a left-handed pitcher from Birmingham, was drafted by the Florida Marlins, 83rd overall.
