With just a few picks left in the first day of baseball's first-year player draft, doubt started to slip into Blake Snell's mind.
"I don't know if I'm going to get picked," the 6-foot-4 left-hander thought on Monday.
Watching the draft with about 20 family members and friends, the Shorewood High School senior heard he would go somewhere between picks 40 and 60. But as other names were called, he had to consider that he might have to wait.
Then the Tampa Bay Rays, who selected three high-school prospects from Washington over the first three rounds in 2010, came to the rescue and selected Snell with the 52nd pick.
