With Milwaukee's last selection on Tuesday, the Brewers chose Youngstown State closer Eric Marzec in the 30th round (909th pick). In February, Marzec was named the top prospect in the Horizon League by Baseball America.
Eric struck out 56 batters in 39 innings of work this past season. The 5'11 hard throwing righty was 3-3 on the hump as he accumulated a 3.92 earned run average and five saves in 2010. Marzec was also impressive from the plate. The Canton Central Catholic product batted .338 as he smacked six long balls and drove in 28 runs this past campaign.
Marzec was named the 2006 Division III Player of the Year by the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association. Eric was a three-year letterwinner at CCCHS. He struck out a Central Catholic school record of 18 batters in a single game.
