Draper signs contract
SAUGET, Ill. (June 17) – All-time Central Oklahoma home run leader Breck Draper will continue his baseball career with an independent league team after signing with the Gateway Grizzlies, it was announced Tuesday.
Draper was a two-year standout for the Bronchos, seeing action at a variety of positions while slugging 42 home runs to set the school career record.  The Shawnee native, a 2003 graduate, played first base, third base, catcher and pitcher for UCO and signed as a catcher with the Grizzlies.
Draper hit .353 with a Lone Star Conference-leading 20 home runs and 70 runs batted in as a junior in 2007, earning LSC North Division and South Central Regional Player of the Year honors in addition to claiming second-team All-America recognition.
He came back this season to lead the league in homers (22) and RBI (82) – placing in the top five in Division II in both categories – while batting .342 to repeat as a first-team All-LSC North and All-South Central regional selection.
Draper finished with a .347 career average and was second in career runs batted in (152) in addition to setting the all-time school home run record.
Draper was an outstanding footballer and baseballer while at Shawnee High School.
Draper is the second player from UCO’s 2008 team to sign a professional contract.  Junior catcher Miguel Moctezuma was a 19th-round draft pick by the Kansas City Royals two weeks ago and is currently playing on a minor league team in North Carolina.
