Four drafted UNLV players sign pro contracts

UNLV will have to rebuild its pitching staff next season after losing its top three starters and closer to the big leagues.

All four former Rebels who were drafted earlier this month — juniors Dean Kremer and D.J. Myers and seniors Ben Wright and Kenny Oakley — have signed with their respective clubs and been assigned to rookie-ball teams in the minors.

Kremer and Myers will begin their professional careers in the Arizona League while Wright and Oakley will start in the Pioneer League.

Kremer, who was picked by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 14th round (431st overall pick), has been assigned to the Arizona League Dodgers.
