Joe Decarlo Goes 64th to the Seattle Mariners



Joe DeCarlo, the No. 2 ranked player in the Class of 2012, was drafted in the second round by the Seattle Mariners yesterday. DeCarlo is the only Pennsylvania high school player to be drafted in this year's first 15 rounds. The draft picks up again today at noon with the start of round 16.

DeCarlo now has a difficult decision to make. The University of Georgia recruit must decide if he wants to play in the SEC or begin his professional career at the age of 18. DeCarlo has until July 13th to sign.

As a four year starter at Garnet Valley High School, the 6-foot-1, 205 pound DeCarlo has played shortstop, but many project him as a third baseman as he continues his playing career.
