Summary
Paul Contreras, a Salida native and standout from Gregori High and Modesto JC, was drafted 127th overall by the New York Yankees in the fourth round — the highest pick from Cal State Fullerton since 2018. After dazzling at Gregori with a .512 batting average and a 2.90 ERA, he elevated his game at Fullerton, earning Big West co-Field Player of the Year honors and smashing 14 home runs — the most by a Titan since 2010. His perseverance paid off after skipping last year’s draft, as he now joins one of baseball’s most iconic franchises, marking a triumphant leap from Modesto to the majors.
