The 2015 Major League Baseball postseason begins on Tuesday night. Just because the Padres didn’t make it to the playoffs, doesn’t mean San Diego won’t be represented. Here’s a list of guys from local schools who are playing in the MLB postseason.
NEW YORK METS: Addison Reed #43 RHP from San Diego State University (Drafted 2010 by the White Sox in the 3rd round, 95th overall).
CHICAGO CUBS: Trevor Cahill #53 RHP born in Oceanside, went to high school in Vista (Drafted 2006 by the Athletics in the 2nd round, 66th overall); Kris Bryant #17 3B from University of San Diego (Drafted 2013 by the Cubs in the 1st round 2nd overall); Quintin Berry #5 LF born in San Diego, went to San Diego State (Drafted 2006 by the Phillies in the 5th round, 157th overall).
LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Adrian Gonzalez #23 1B born in San Diego, went to high school in Eastlake (Drafted 2000 by the Marlins in the 1st round, 1st overall).
