BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : White Sox Draft a Woman

As usual, several sons of former major leaguers were picked in this week’s amateur baseball draft. A daughter was taken, too.

Carey Schueler, a left-handed pitcher, was selected in the 43rd round by the Chicago White Sox. She’s the daughter of White Sox Vice President Ron Schueler.

Schueler, 18, is believed to be the first woman picked in the baseball draft. She was taken late Friday as the 1,208th pick overall.

The last time Schueler played baseball was as a sophomore at Campolindo High in Moraga, Calif., when she pitched for the boys’ junior varsity team. She was an all-state basketball player as a senior last season, and has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at DePaul.
