MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University right fielder Stan Posluszny was selected in the 34th round by the Seattle Mariners in today’s Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
Yesterday, catcher David Carpenter went in the 12th round to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Posluszny batted .332 with 10 home runs and a team-best 60 RBI as a senior for the Mountaineers. The Aliquippa, Pa., resident finished his career with a school-record 174 runs batted in. He also smacked 33 home runs and had a career .290 batting average.
Posluszny was drafted in the 21st round by the Anaheim Angels in 2004.
