Cooper McGrath and Jordan Gottesman shared the pitcher’s side of the locker room at Northeastern University. Now, they’ll be sharing it again in the San Francisco Giants system.
McGrath, who grew up in Hamilton and starred at the Pingree School, and Gottesman, who got his collegiate start at Endicott, were both selected by the Giants in the Major League Baseball draft on Monday.
