While the entire LSU baseball team leaves for the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., six Tigers took a step out the University’s proverbial door Tuesday and Wednesday — albeit a passive step.Two high school prospects took the same step before even enrolling.One senior, four juniors, a sophomore and two LSU commitments were drafted in the first two days of the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player draft which consisted of the first 30 rounds of the 50-round event.”It’s nice to get it out of the way,” said junior left fielder and infielder Ryan Schimpf. “Now we can go take care of a national championship.Schimpf was the fourth Tiger to go off the draft board when the Toronto Blue Jays selected him in the fifth round at pick No. 160.Junior outfielder Jared Mitchell headlined the group of draftees, as the Chicago White Sox chose him Tuesday in the first round at No. 23.Sophomore infielder DJ LeMahieu was also selected Tuesday in the second round at No. 79 overall by the Chicago Cubs, where former LSU infielders Mike Theriot and Ryan Fontenot already play.Theriot called LeMahieu on Wednesday, Mainieri said, but LeMahieu’s girlfriend did not believe it was Theriot and hung up.Senior pitcher Louis Coleman, junior designated hitter Blake Dean, junior first baseman and catcher Sean Ochinko and pitching prospects Brody Colvin and Zach Von Rosenberg joined Schimpf as Wednesday draftees.Coleman was the first of the day when the Kansas City Royals drafted him in the fifth round, No. 152 overall.The Minnesota Twins selected Dean in the 10th round, No. 312 overall, and the Toronto Blue Jays took Ochinko at No. 340 overall in the 11th round.Colvin, a prospect from St. Thomas More High School in Lafayette, was taken by the Philadelphia Phillies in the seventh round and said in an interview Wednesday night that he would still go to LSU because he was not taken in the first three rounds.Von Rosenburg, a Zachary native, was taken in the sixth round by the Pittsburgh Pirates.”If Zach or Brody had gone earlier, we would have lost them probably,” Mainieri said. “But the fact that they went in the sixth and seventh rounds, respectively, means they still have a good chance of going to school.”The final 20 rounds of the draft will take place today.Any major league team to draft an underclassman will have until August 15 to sign them to a contract.Mitchell’s selection made him the first Tiger to be drafted in the first round since the Blue Jays took Aaron Hill at No. 13 overall in 2003.Mainieri said Monday that Coleman’s decision to come back for a senior season after being selected by the Washington Nationals in the 14th round of last year’s draft could help some of this year’s underclassmen make the decision to stay.”If our juniors get drafted and it’s financially to their benefit and they’re comfortable with the opportunity that they’re getting, then they should sign,” Mainieri said. “But if they’re not, they can look at Louis as a classic example of a kid that came back for his senior year and it’s paid off for him.”—-Contact Jerit Roser at [email protected]
