It was a Wednesday evening former Trojan baseball player and current Trevecca student Hunter Newman will never forget.
Newman answered his ringing cell phone only to realize the St. Louis Cardinals were on the other end.
He was going to be drafted to play professional baseball.
“I wasn’t for sure if I’d be taken,” Newman recalled of his experience on draft day. “It was a waiting game. I knew it was a possibility, but it’d be on day three.”
Major League Baseball (MLB) holds its amateur player draft over a three-day period. Day one includes the televised first and second rounds, while day two covers rounds three through 10 and day three rounds 11-40.
Newman had been drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 22nd round with the 671st pick of the 2015 draft.
“It was unbelievable,” Newman said. “It was so surreal. I worked my entire life for that moment and it finally happened.”

When the Trump administration announced in September the decision to rescind the Obama era executive order Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the administration gave Congress six months to come up with a legislative solution. The expiration date set for DACA was Mar. 5.
The months and days leading up to the Mar. 5 deadline have been uncertain, followed with political battle in Washington and roaring protests led by immigration activists across the U.S.
The election results for the executive student government positions for the 2018-2019 school year are in.
