    MIDDLETOWN, R.I. (WPRI) — The MLB Draft starts on Sunday, July 14, as many baseball players around the world will fulfill a dream of hearing their name called.

    In that pool of players is Middletown native Ryan Andrade, a pitcher, who is coming off his junior year at the University of Pittsburgh, after spending the first two years of his collegiate career at URI.

    Andrade has been in contact with all 30 teams in Major League Baseball, and is hoping just one takes a chance on him.

    Andrade threw 63 innings for the Panthers this spring, posting a 2-5 record and a 7.29 earned run average. He expects to get picked on Monday, the second day of the draft.
