Maryknoll senior Jacob Remily rounded out a three-man class with Hawaii ties when he heard his name called in the 16^th round of the 2024 MLB Draft on Tuesday.

Remily, a 6-foot-6, 190-pound pitcher who also played at the corners for the Spartans, was taken at No. 475 overall by the Cleveland Guardians.

According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Remily is the first Maryknoll player to be taken directly out of high school in the draft. He reportedly was able to throw as fast as 94 mph this spring.

Remily previously committed to play at San Jose State in 2025 but may now embark directly on a pro career. The MLB does not list draft slot values after the 10^th round.

On Day 1 of the draft, Saint Louis School graduate Caleb Lomavita, a three-year catcher at the Univeristy of California, Berkeley, was taken at No. 39 overall by the Washington Nationals. On Day 2, the Phildelphia Phillies took Mid-Pacific Institute alumnus Kodey Shojinaga, a two-year second baseman at the University of Kansas, with the 192nd overall pick.

Meanwhile, the University of Hawaii did not have a player taken in the draft for the first time in eight years – including the first time in the three-year Rich Hill era. Left-hander Harry Gustin went in the 18^th round in 2023 and right-hander Li‘i Pontes went in the 16^th round in 2022.
