After quarterbacking Cretin-Derham Hall’s football team to the Class 5A state title for the second time last fall, Mauer was selected as the Gatorade High School Football Player of the Year, and earned a scholarship to Florida State University.
However, he is expected to be one of the first 10 picks in the first round of the upcoming Major League Baseball amateur draft. A catcher, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound Mauer hit home runs in seven consecutive games this spring. Through his team’s first 19 games, Mauer was hitting .576 with 13 home runs, 35 runs batted in, and 33 runs scored after hitting .565 last season and .550 last summer for Team USA in the World Junior Championships. Mauer’s games routinely attract 30 or more major league scouts.
As a quarterback, Mauer passed for 5,528 yards and 73 touchdowns, and posted a 25-2 record as a starter.
Mauer was indeed drafted in the 2001 MLB draft as the number one selection, the first Minnesotan to do so. He had an illustrious career for the Minnesota Twins until his retirement in 2018.
