CHESAPEAKE (WAVY) — When Major League Baseball held its three-day draft, Old Dominion pitcher Hunter Gregory had to play the waiting game and finally got a call from his agent.
“8th round came, he Facetimed me and said how do you feel about being a Blue Jay?”
Gregory was projected to be drafted between the 3rd and 8th rounds.
“They said 3 through 8, I wasn’t expecting to go until the 8th, but I am extremely blessed to be drafted,” Gregory said.
Gregory said the Blue Jays plan to use him out of the bullpen.
