Former Regis Jesuit High School baseball star Dallas Macias was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 15th round in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft Monday.
Macias went with the No. 457 overall pick as an outfielder, after he played a stellar shortstop under coach Matt Darr at Regis Jesuit, where he was the Gatorade Colorado Player of the Year in 2022, the same year he also won the prestigious Fred Steinmark Award (story).
With Oregon State, Macias appeared in 133 games over three seasons and posted a .253 batting average with 10 home runs and 63 RBI. Prior to the draft, Macias entered the transfer portal and had decided on Texas Christian University.
MLB teams have until 5 p.m. ET July 28 to agree to terms with players drafted out of college or high school.
