CLEVELAND -- Zach Plesac decided to get away from all the noise surrounding the MLB Draft this weekend. While spending time with his family at Turkey Run State Park in Indiana on Saturday afternoon, his quiet retreat was interrupted when his phone began buzzing with a string of congratulatory texts.
Among the messages was one from his Uncle Dan.
Go Tribe.
The Indians picked Plesac in the 12th round (362nd overall) on the third and final day of the annual Draft, adding another right-handed pitcher to their stock of prospects. His uncle, former Major Leaguer Dan Plesac, received a notification when his nephew's name was called.
