Oregon State right-handed pitcher Greg Peavey was selected by the New York Mets on Tuesday in the sixth round (182nd overall) of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
This is the third time the Hudson’s Bay High School graduate has been drafted. Peavey was selected in the 24th round of the 2007 draft by the New York Yankees, and in the 32nd round of the 2009 draft by Houston.

Through three seasons at Oregon State, Peavey is 12-9 with a 4.57 ERA. He has appeared in 43 games, including 32 starts, and has worked 210⅔ innings, striking out 149 while opponents are hitting .270 against him.
