Once again Billy Gasparino was following the recommendation of super scout Marty Lamb in drafting 1st round draft pick, Louisville RHP Bobby Miller. He was also responsible for scouting and drafting 2nd round pick, Landon Knack out of East Tennessee St. They were close to a third recommended player, Louisville OF, Zach Britton, but chose Carson Taylor instead. Britton went in the 6th round to Toronto.
Marty Lamb has been an area scout for the Dodgers since 1999, with a territory of Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky. How do you say no to an area scout who has engineered the drafting and signing of Walker Buehler, Will Smith, Caleb Ferguson, Zach Reks, Luke Raley, Jordan Sheffield, and Phil Pfeifer.
