The Number One Pick
John Ward - Pitcher - St. Louis Browns
Age: 17
Hometown: Bellefonte, PA
The Browns take a fresh young teen who has not finished highschool yet but has impressed scouts with the velocity of the ball that he throws and his good strong build of 165 pounds. The Browns won only 19 games all of last season and Ward even at his incredibibly young age, will be the main pitcher on the roster.
