Two former DeKalb County pitchers are up for a spot in the MLB draft, which began Monday. Cody Puckett, a 2013 graduate of DCHS and current hurler at MTSU, reportedly traveled to Cincinnati last week to show off his skills for the Reds, and has been scouted by the Oakland A’s. Puckett pitched three winning games for the Blue Raiders this year, finishing with the second lowest ERA on the squad, 4.76.
