    Outfielder Joris Bert could become the first French player ever drafted. After playing at Major League Baseball's European Academy in 2006, Bert wound up at Frank Phillips through a connection between one of his coaches on the French national team and one of the Plainsmen's assistants. He's just 5-foot-9, but he's a plus-plus runner who used his speed to hit .395 and rank fifth among national juco players with 42 steals in 52 attempts.
