For the Cumberland Times-News
Cumberland Times-News

Potomac State College sophomore left-hander Nathan Fike was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 47th round of the Major League Baseball draft.

Fike was the 1,417th player taken, and is the 18th Potomac State player to be drafted in the last 13 seasons.

Fike led the Catamounts with a 7-1 record and had a 1.72 earned run average. The Uniontown, Pa., native struck out 70 and walked just 18 in 57 2/3 innings. Opposing hitters hit just .192 against him.

Former Potomac State pitcher Enrique Garcia, now pitching for the University of Miami (Fla.), was selected in the 24th round by the Cincinnati Reds. He is 14-6 in two seasons with the Hurricanes while compiling a 4.26 earned run average. This year, he is 6-2 with a 4.80 ERA with 60 strikeouts in 75 innings.

Garcia, undrafted out of Choptican (Md.) High School, was drafted after his freshman season at Potomac State in the 17th round by the Chicago White Sox. Garcia returned for his sophomore season and was taken by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 20th round.

After transferring to Miami he was drafted last season by the Chicago Cubs in the 32nd round.
