Bryce Rainer, a shortstop from Harvard-Westlake High, was taken No. 11 overall by the Detroit Tigers in Sunday's Major League Baseball amateur draft.
His coach, Jared Halpert, calls Rainer, 'the best high school baseball player I've ever seen.'
As a freshman, Rainer was primarily used as a pitcher and went 9-0 when Harvard-Westlake won the Southern Section Division 1 championship. He didn't pitch as a sophomore in 2022 as he started to focus on his hitting while playing third base and outfield.
His senior season was marked by consistency and a growth in maturity. He had 49 hits, a .505 batting average and nine saves as a closer in helping the Wolverines reach the Division 1 championship game.
