Sophomore LHP Jared Dettman (Somerset, WI) was drafted in the 17th round by the Atlanta Braves

Century College sophomore LHP Jared Dettman (Somerset, WI) was drafted in the 17th round by the Atlanta Braves in this past weekend's Major League Draft.  Jared was named NJCAA 3rd Team All American, and helped guide the Wood Ducks to a national runner up finish at the 2013 NJCAA III World Series. He was also drafted out of high school in 2011 by the Minnesota Twins.  He has accepted a baseball scholarship to attend North Dakota State University if he doesn't sign with the Braves.

"Jared was one of the top left handed pitchers in the nation this past year, and I couldn't be more happy for him," stated Century College Head Baseball Coach Dwight Kotila. "The Braves believe Jared has a chance to develop into a top pitching prospect in their organization, and I couldn't agree more.  A lot of credit for Jared's development goes to our pitching coach, Randy Briesacher, who is one of the best pitching coaches I have been around."

Dettman becomes the 4th player who played for Coach Kotila in his coaching career to be drafted, and the first player in the young history of Century College to be drafted.
