SUN DEVIL BASEBALL THE TRADITION 76 Under Murphy ASU AND THE DRAFT Breaking Down the Draft: very year, has several names called in the June amateur draft. A great sense of pride is taken when a player from the Maroon and Gold is transformed into a player. A wonderful tribute to ASU head Pat Murphy and his program is the fact that when Ethe players come to play in the program, their draft status is remarkably changed by playing at this level. Day in and day out, Sun Devil baseball play- ers get to show their skills in front of numerous scouts, against the best competition in the nation. Here is a look at the players who have been drafted under Coach Murphy since 1995 and how their draft status has improved since the previous draft. A minimal amount of players who were recruited by Murphy have slipped in the draft since arriving at ASU; in fact, Phill Lowery and Mike Esposito are the only ASU players to realistically have their draft status fall, and both were due to injuries. Esposito signed for second-round money ($750,000) after his 12th-round selection in 2002 by the .

But somehow the 11-time All-Star equally made an impression on the all-time record books. Bonds won his fifth MVP award—and his second in a row—by leading the league in hitting at .370, in walks with 198 and in on-base percentage at .582. He is second among active major league players with 1,830 games played, with a .428 career on-base percentage, and is the active leader with 1,652 career RBI. His 613 career home runs are ranked first among active players and fourth all time. In addition to his great regular season, Bonds was a key to the advancing to the World Series by hitting .356 with eight home runs in 17 postseason games in 2002. Bonds was a two-time All-American at Arizona State from 1983 to 1985, hitting .347 with 42 doubles and 45 home runs in his ASU career. He still holds the record with hits in seven consecutive at-bats.

or former Sun Devil All-American Willie Bloomquist, the 2002 season was a “tale of two cities.” Bloomquist strug- Fgled while battling a bad back and a strange case of ver- tigo in the first half of the season with -A Tacoma. But then he caught fire at the plate to finish the year with a .270 average with six home runs, and earned his first September call-up. After not playing for the first few weeks, he exploded into the MLB scene by going 15-for-33 while playing infield and . His late-season hitting surge included a pair of four- games and one three-hit contest. The former standout at Arizona State from 1997-99 put up amazing numbers during his Sun Devil career, capping it by being named the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1999. He hit .394 in his ASU career, with 42 doubles, 22 triples and 15 home runs. Leaving after his junior year after being drafted in the third round by the Mariners, Bloomquist quickly made an impact in the Mariners farm system. At Single-A Everett in his first year in professional baseball, Bloomquist hit at a .287 clip. The Port Orchard, Wash., native had an impressive Spring Train- ing with the Mariners the following year, playing the most games of any player in camp and hitting above .300.

fter eight years in the minor leagues, former Sun Devil Paul Lo Duca finally got his chance to be a A starter in a major league uniform…and the wait was worth it. Lo Duca had performed at every level of the Dodgers minor league system after being taken in the 25th round of the 1993 draft. Hitting over .300 in eight of his nine professional seasons, Lo Duca exploded onto the MLB scene in 2001 with the Dodgers. Playing in 125 games, Lo Duca led the team with a .320 batting average, including 147 hits, 28 doubles, 25 home runs and 90 RBI. Lo Duca was also very versatile in 2001, playing four different positions (C, 1B, LF, RF) and hitting in six different spots in the lineup. He added another good year in 2002 with a .281 batting average and 10 home runs. He also made a sliding catch into the Dodger dugout that was voted as one of the top five defen- sive plays of the year on ESPN’s SportsCenter. Playing only one year at Arizona State, Lo Duca was named the Player of the Year in 1993, setting school records with a .446 batting average and 129 hits in 1993.
