Two Wildcats Picked Up in Major League Baseball Draft
Bethune-Cookman continued to have their baseball program flourish over the weekend as senior shortstop Jose Lozada and junior pitcher Joseph "Gio" Gautier were both picked up in the Major League Baseball draft on friday afternoon.
Jose Lozada, the 2008 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Player of the Year, went in the 17th round (511 overall) to the Washington Nationals. The senior from Las Piedras, Puerto Rico batted an impressive .398 on the season and registered seven homeruns on 84 hits. He was also named as a two-time Black College Baseball Player of the Week.
"This is great for Lozada as he worked very hard this year and deserves everythinbg he gets," expressed B-CU head coach Mervyl Melendez. "He is a great player, and we were extremely happy to have had him this year."
The next pick-up for the Wildcats was junior pitcher Joseph "Gio" Gautier who went 588th overall in the 19th round to the Arizona Diamondbacks. A native of Dorado, Puerto Rico, Gautier finished the season third on the team in wins (six), third in earned run average (2.48) and tied with Eric Thomas for strikeouts atop the Wildcats list with 74. Gautier was used as a second-game starter for the 'Cats during weekend series', and had his best overall performance in an ESPN 2 televised game at then #3 ranked UCLA.
"Gio worked very hard this year, and I'm glad he was drafted," stated Melendez. "There are some things he can work on if he decides to come back, but the Diamondbacks organization is getting one heck of a pitcher if he goes. He is a great kid with a great attitude on the mound."

B-CU Camp FAQs
Q. What is your refund policy?
A. We do not offer refunds on canceled campers, just a future camp credit if you decide to cancel, but we do have what is called "Cancellation Protection".
We offer basic Cancellation Protection to allow participants some peace of mind in case plans change. This allows us to keep our prices low and provide the best service possible. Due at the time of registration, Cancellation Protection entitles you to a full refund of camp fees should you cancel your registration more than 14 days prior to the start of an overnight camp, and 7 days prior to the start of a day camp. If you cancel within 14 or 7 days of the start of your session, we will give you a camp credit for all money paid.
The credit is valid for three years from camp date at any of our camps, clinics or prospect events. Credit with insurance is transferable to family members or friends, and good toward a future camp.
Q. What should I bring to my baseball camp or showcase camp?
A. Many times the camp itself will have a recommended list of items to bring to camp, but here are a few things to help you. All position players should bring a bat and glove. Look like a baseball player by wearing a hat, jersey, belt, baseball socks, etc. You need to look the part. If you are a catcher, have your own gear. Hitters, bring your bat and helmet just in case. Don't expect to use the college's equipment and you must be ready to go! Borrow something from a teammate or coach if you do not have one.
