1. Nationals -- RHP Stephen Strasburg, San Diego State
2. Mariners -- RHP Jacob Turner, Westminster Christian Academy
3. Padres --1B Dustin Ackley, University of North Carolina
4. Pirates -- RHP Alex White, University of North Carolina
5. Orioles -- LHP Tyler Matzek, Capastrano Valley HS
6. Giants -- RHP Tanner Scheppers, St. Paul Saints
7. Braves -- OF Donavan Tate, Cartersville HS

13. Athletics -- SS Grant Green, University of South Carolina
14. Rangers -- RHP Zach Wheeler, East Paulding Co. HS
15. Indians -- RHP Mike Leake, Arizona State University

Grant Green going #13 is a huge drop off for him as he was the favorite to follow Strasburg when the season began. 11 of the first 15 picks are pitchers as this draft is thought to be very pitching heavy.

Strasburg Update from 5/14 outing:
7IP, 6H, 2ER, 1BB, 10K. On the year now - 12-0 with a 1.34 ERA, 18BB/174K, and a .167 BAA in 94 1/3IP.
