DACULA, Ga. - Former Hebron baseball player, Garrett Howe, was selected by the Cleveland Guardians in the 11th round of the Major League Baseball Draft on Tuesday.

In 2020, Howe committed to Samford University where he played all four years as a Bulldog. In four years, the Bulldog shortstop recorded a career .304 batting average. He had 245 career hits which ties for sixth in program history at Samford. His senior year, Howe had the second-highest batting average on the team with .369. He tallied 83 hits which tied for the most on the team this past season.
