- Here's a brief feature on former Loyola Marymount University
player Chris Pettit in the San Bernardino
Sun:
Chris Pettit is one of those late bloomers. He didn't get drafted out of San Dimas High School and had trouble just landing a college scholarship.
It wasn't until his senior year at Loyola Marymount that the Angels gave him a chance, drafting him in the 19th round. He never expected to be picked out of high school but can't quite figure out why it took until his senior year in college for him to get noticed.
"I actually had a better junior year than senior year," he said. "The draft is just a bunch of crap. You have everyone telling you things and what usually ends up happening is completely different than you were led to believe."
But Pettit is making up for lost time and getting the chance to play just 20 minutes from home. He patrols center field and is batting in the No. 3 hole for the resurgent Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, who are battling Inland Empire for the South division wild-card playoff berth.
He hit .336 in 68 games with the rookie-ball team Orem in 2006. He began this season at Low-A Cedar Rapids hitting .346, earning Midwest League all-star honors and a promotion to the California League.
Pettit, 22, is faring equally well against upgraded competition with a .343 batting average, even after a 0-for-16 start. In 35 games with the Quakes he has 36 RBI, 10 doubles, a triple, eight home runs, nine stolen bases and 29 runs scored. His best game was a 5-for-5 showing against High Desert that was highlighted by two home runs.
- The Dodgers have shut down Randy Wolf indefinitely. Brad Penny and Derek Lowe look like they'll make their next scheduled starts.
