Pardo signs with Angels

Former Gaither, USF and Saint Leo catcher Braulio Pardo has signed with the Angels.

Pardo, who was drafted in the 12th round with the 379th overall pick, will report to the Angels' rookie league team in Orem, Utah. The team is managed by Seminole resident Tom Kotchman, the longtime Angels coach and father of former Seminole standout and current Angels 1B Casey Kotchman.

A 6-foot, 190-pound switch-hitting catcher, Pardo, who transferred from USF after playing two seasons there, hit .356 this past season as a junior in his only season at Saint Leo. He was a first-team all-Sunshine State Conference selection, hitting three homers and 21 RBIs with six doubles, two triples and 35 runs scored.
