Rahier opted to play baseball in a wood-bat developmental league in San Bernardino instead of coming up through the Palm Desert High School system that produced CIF Championship teams two of the past three years.  

Two other players with Palm Desert High connections, Ryan Garvey (class of 2011), and Jonathan Serven (class of 2012) are expected to be taken in the draft’s later rounds taking place Today and Wednesday.
