After being drafted in the second round by the New York Yankees this past week, it was pretty much understood that Arizona Wildcats commit Matt Sauer would forego his college years and start pro ball.

"I can't be any more blessed. I'm so excited. I'm so happy that my friends and family were here to witness this," Sauer said about being drafted 54th overall. "This was just amazing ... I'm still at a loss of words right now. This is so exciting right now ... most World Series ever. They're a winning team so hopefully I'll get a ring with them.
