EL CAJON (6-9-17) — Santana High senior NOAH NUNEZ will have his name called in the next day or two in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.
Having just wrapped up a very successful season as a captain of the Sultans’ baseball team, Nunez knows should the pros not offer up an attractive enough offer to start a professional baseball career in the minor leagues, a scholarship to pitch for the San Diego State Aztecs awaits.
Nunez was a dual threat at the plate and especially on the hill for Santana in 2017 and was named EastCountySports.com Player of the Year for his efforts in leading the Sultans to a Grossmont Hills League co-championship and a long-awaited re-appearance in a San Diego CIF championship game.
