Poytress & Robinson
www.fresnobee.com
Fresno State's baseball rebuilding project grew this week after Dusty Robinson and Josh Poytress decided as expected to pass on their senior seasons and instead sign professional contracts.
Josh and Dusty started their journey as Freshman Bulldog roommates. Its been a great friendship and a tie that even the parents share. They both even had a crazy freshman summer ball trip, lol. Dusty has fought through opposition and so has his buddy Josh. Today is no different as Josh waits for Dusty's arrival of his friend @ NY Penn League. Good luck to two fine young men!

A total of 44 Bulldogs have been drafted under Batesole's watch including, three first round picks.
"This is an exciting day for Fresno State baseball with 10 Bulldogs being taken in the 2011 MLB Draft," said Batesole. "We are especially happy for our seniors, who have given so much to our program, to get an opportunity to continue playing."
Muno was selected as the 252 overall pick in the eighth round by the New York Mets. The third baseman leaves Fresno State among the top 10 in most career statistical categories. Muno hit .346 during his senior campaign with 14 doubles and three home runs with 52 RBIs. Muno was named All-WAC every year in his career as a Bulldog.

Gonzalez was named a first-team All-American and semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award.
The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Poytress in the 18th round and was the 542nd overall pick of the draft. The left-hander recorded a 2.85 ERA in 2011 and struck out 56 batters. He earned All-WAC honors the past two seasons. Poytress allowed 12 walks and 25 earned runs in 79 innings pitched.
Ribera was selected in the 21st round (648 overall pick) by the Colorado Rockies. The first baseman earned All-American honors during his junior season when he led the country in home runs.

Weber was the first Bulldog taken in the 222nd round (664 overall pick) by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Weber is the third senior to get drafted in 2011. He hit .274 with six doubles, two triples and five home runs. The shortstop also recorded 33 RBIs and started all 56 games this season. Weber earned All-WAC honors both seasons in a Bulldog uniform.

Josh Poytress leaves for NY Penn League
Hi my fellow Bulldog parents. I hope you are as excited about our blog as i am! This morning at 6:30 am Josh boarded his flight to begin his journey to becoming a Pittsburgh Pirate! We spent most of our day yesterday packing up his house and packing his travel bag. The brothers, Jordan, Jeremiah & Nicholas, along with Kelly & I, had dinner together at Casa Corona. Kelly kept us rolling with all his jokes, and the boys humored him by laughing anyways, lol. Later that night, Josh's beautiful sister Toridawn surprised him with her arrival after midnight. Everyone together....blessings for sure! As I am writing, Josh has let us know he has arrived at Phoenix for his connection. While grabbing something to eat, Josh ran into former teammate Jake Floethe, who is also heading to the NY Penn League. How cool is that?! Go Jake!
Josh is now boarding for the long leg of his trip...sleep well son...and have fun at the Pirates game tonight. Love, Mom
