So off to the Dodgers for Brandon Dixon.

This is the first time since 2008 that a Wildcat has been drafted in the first three rounds. That 2008 draft class had two first-rounders in Daniel Schlereth (No. 26 to the Arizona Diamondbacks) and Ryan Perry (No. 21 to the Detroit Tigers).

A year ago, there is no way anyone would have expected Dixon to go so high. But an off-season full of laser eye surgery and a ton of hard work turned him into the PAC-12 batting champ, finishing the year with a .369 batting average, 51 RBI, 57 runs scored and 30 stolen bases.

In 2012, he split time with Joseph Maggi at first base, hitting just .245 in 155 at-bats.

But in the College World Series, he hit a game-winning double, which seemed to have jump started his baseball career.

The Dodgers have a Rookie League affiliate in Glendale in the AZL Dodgers, but also have a short-season affiliate with the Ogden Raptors, and their Low-A affiliate is the Great Lakes Loons. As the third round pick, I would expect Dixon to start in Ogden.
