The Atlanta Braves selected Saguaro High School standout pitcher Cam Caminiti with the No. 24 overall pick in the first round of the MLB Draft on Sunday.
Caminiti, who was born in Scottsdale, led Saguaro to a state title this past season as a pitcher and outfielder. The southpaw boasted a 0.93 ERA with 119 strikeouts in 52.2 innings.
He is the cousin of 1996 National League MVP Ken Caminiti, who played 15 MLB seasons and died in 2004 before the draftee was born.
