Here's a surprise: Center fielder Trent Mummey was the first Auburn player selected in the Major League draft Tuesday, going at No. 118 overall to the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth round.Mummey, a junior, hit .366 with 17 home runs and 54 RBIs in 36 games this year. He
missed the first six weeks of the season with an ankle injury.Mummey is the highest Auburn player selected in the draft since Josh Donaldson went in the supplemental first round to the Chicago Cubs in 2007.
Mummey was the 10th SEC player selected this year.
Many expected first baseman and SEC Player of the Year Hunter Morris to be the first Auburn player selected. Morris, left fielder Brian Fletcher and designated hitter Kevin Patterson should all be selected at some point today.
