Maple selects in Round 1...

The Maple Marauders selected their first overall player in franchise history with the #10 overall pick in the ABL inaugural draft.

Roberto Martinez, SP, southpaw, born in Puerto Rico, will anchor the starting rotation this season.  He is 27 years old, has a great work ethic and is highly intelligent.  He will be a great fit for Maple's balllpark.  Roberto features 3 good pitches and a nice 4th splitter pitch.  He is a ground ball pitcher and has an excellent pick off move.  He is known for holding runners tight to their base when they are lucky enough to get on versus him.  The contract negotations will be underway after the draft is over to sign him to a long term deal.  His agent has leaked out to the media that he is looking for a $5M per year deal.
 "I'm happy to play in Canada!"
