ARLINGTON, Texas - The A’s draft Wednesday had some local flavor and a nice connection to the big-league roster.

With their 38th selection overall, Oakland selected St. Mary’s outfielder Austin Piscotty, the younger brother of A’s outfielder Stephen Piscotty.

“We think Austin is a good baseball player and he deserves to get the opportunity to play pro baseball,” Oakland scouting director Eric Kubota said.
