With the 23rd pick of the first round of today's Major League Baseball draft the San Diego Padres drafted Wake Forest 1st (and sometimes 3rd) baseman Allan Dykstra. Dykstra has been the star of Demon Deacon baseball for the last several seasons and should have a great career ahead of him as a pro. I'm sure he's excited about having been drafted by the Padres because he grew up rooting for them.

You can read more about his selection on the official Wake Forest athletics website here.

Further information about Dykstra selection is here on the Padres official website.

Best of luck to Dystra in his professional career!
