Frostburg State University senior pitcher Greg Ross (Towson, Md./Loch Raven) was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 18th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft, late Tuesday afternoon.

Ross becomes the first Bobcat player in over 30 years to be drafted in the major leagues and just the third in the history of the baseball program. John Elder was selected by the New York Mets in 1978 while Jim Riggleman, current manager for the Washington Nationals, was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1974.

Being selected by the Braves is the final touch on a brilliant senior season for Ross. He earned numerous postseason awards, grabbed several school records and helped the Bobcats to the CAC Championship and NCAA Tournament.
