Red Storm baseball players Tim Morris and Brian Kemp were both selected on day two of the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
Morris, a third team Louisville Slugger All-American and first team All Big East selection, was taken by the Seattle Mariners in the 11th round. With a .370 career average, the junior ranks second all-time in school history, and set a new school record this season for runs (69). In single season records, he ranks second all-time in hits, third in RBI (62), fourth in average (.415), tied for sixth in home runs (12), and tied for ninth in doubles (17).
Kemp, a third team All Big East honoree, was drafted in the 19th round by the Houston Astros. The junior leadoff man batted .379 and scored 68 rubs, along with 16 stolen bases. He was a Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American in 2007.

Tim morris is the real deal. I remember him hitting mammoth homeruns at radnor high school. He will be in the show in 3 years.
