SECAUCUS, N.J. – Recent Kenyon College graduate Jesse Weiss was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in Saturday's 36th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. With the selection, Weiss became the second Kenyon baseball player to be drafted in the last two years.

During his final collegiate baseball season at Kenyon, Weiss, who mainly served as Kenyon's designated hitter, played in all 37 games and posted a .311 batting average. He led the team in slugging percentage (.557), home runs (4), and walks (23). He ranked second on the team in runs scored (38) and doubles (16), while also producing 32 runs batted in and a .433 on-base percentage.

Weiss was a three-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference honoree and was voted one of Kenyon's Senior Athletes of the Year. Throughout his four-year career with the Lords, he mashed 150 hits, sported a .357 batting average, scored 103 runs, and had 102 RBI. All five of those numbers rank fifth all-time in the history of the Kenyon program. Additionally, his 47 career doubles rank second-best in the Kenyon record book, while his 223 total bases rank third, and his .531 career slugging percentage ranks eighth.

Weiss was selected as the 1,082nd player overall in the 40-round draft. One year ago, the Baltimore Orioles used the 1,152nd pick to select Kenyon catcher Jack Graham in the 40th round.
