LOS ANGELES -- The MLB Draft is upon us, and the Dodgers over the next three days will call the name of 42 players, with most signing to begin their major league career. For many, draft day can be a life-changing moment.
"Growing up you have this big fantasy of playing in the major leagues," said Chris Hatcher, drafted by the Marlins in the fifth round in 2006. "It just showed you have that chance. It starts there."
Hatcher was drafted as a catcher, and eventually made the big leagues as a catcher.
