Dave Sever, a Burr Ridge resident and graduate of Benet Academy in Lisle, was selected in the 16th round of the Major League Baseball amateur draft by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Sever, a senior at St. Louis University, was the 490th overall pick.
This season the right hander led the team with a 3.60 earned run average and a 6-2 record. He struck out 70 batters (also a team high) in 65 innings of work and help opponents to a .255 batting average. His ERA mark was fifth-best in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
