With the 1st pick of the 38th Round (1149th overall), the Astros select 6'1" 200lb 3B Zach Remillard, a high schooler out of the LaSalle Institute in Troy, New York.
Remillard signed a letter of intent with Coastal Carolina...where he'll play with his older brother, Will.
In this May 2011 story, head coach Jesse Braverman said:
"I've seen him do things well in several different positions in the lineup and from varying circumstances. That sort of experience and knowledge can't be duplicated. Being in those situations is invaluable, and it isn't just with us, but also his experience with the Dodgers. Zach has immersed himself in baseball."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
