Most people love New York for their pizza and bagels but the Tampa Bay Rays love New York for their amateur baseball stars.
They drafted Rob Finneran, in 2012, Jaime Schultz and Stephen Woods in 2013, then Alec Sole, Steve Ascher and Ryan Pennell in 2014.
This time it was Old Westbury‘s ace Tim Ingram with their 31st round pick.
Ingram had a spectacular senior season for the Panthers. He led them to the Skyline Conference title over rival Farmingdale State.
The 6’0″ right handed pitcher put himself on the map with an undefeated summer last year in the Hamptons League. He followed that up with a 1.82 ERA and eight wins with 92 strikeouts over 69.1 IP during the 2015 season.
Here’s a video of him pitching in the Skyline Conference playoffs.
