Alex Lavisky
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians drafted St. Edward High School catcher Alex Lavisky in the eighth round (240th overall) on Tuesday.
Lavisky, a member of two state baseball champions, has signed a letter of intent to play at Georgia Tech.
Lavisky hit 13 homers this season as the Eagles won the Division I title.
The Tribe selected center fielder LeVon Washington, from Chipola (Fla.) Junior College, in the second round (55th overall) -- their first pick of the day. Rounds 2-30 unfold in the second of a three-day draft that lasts 50 rounds.
The speedy Washington was drafted 30th overall in 2009 draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. He has had labrum surgery and his arm right now is comparable to those of Coco Crisp, Johnny Damon, and Shannon Stewart. He's considered a "tools player.''
