It’s the big day for Central Kitsap High School senior baseball star Drew Vettleson, who is expected to be drafted in the 2010 Major League Draft, beginning at 4 p.m. today and running through Wednesday.
Multiple reports project Vettleson will be drafted late in the first round, 28th overall, by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both Jim Callis of baseballamerica.com and Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus say Vettleson is headed to Los Angeles.

The ambidextrous slugger, who has committed to play at Oregon State University next season, said earlier this season he wasn’t sure whether he’d go pro if given the chance. Central Kitsap coach Bill Baxter, however, said last week he believed Vettleson would skip college if the circumstances were right.

“I think if he goes high enough he will probably lean toward going,” Baxter said. “He’s in a nice position because he has a backup plan.”
