KEENE, N.H.--Growing up in Windham, Maine, Cody Dube ate plenty of lobster.  But he'll have to switch to another kind of shellfish - crab - after the Keene State College graduate was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 10th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft on Friday evening.

Dube became the second KSC player ever to be chosen in the draft, after Corey Vogt '11 was chosen by the Boston Red Sox in 2011.  

He was also the third Division III player chosen this year; righty Lake Bachar of Wisconsin-Whitewater went to the San Diego Padres in the fifth round, and righthander Stephen Ridings of Haverford was taken by the Chicago Cubs in the eighth round.

"It's just a whole bunch of emotions right now," said Dube.  "It was a long day waiting by the phone.  The Cubs and Orioles both called in the 10th round, and the Orioles had the earlier pick.   It's awesome, and a big relief to move on to the next level."

In the 2016 season, Dube became just the third All-American in the history of Keene State baseball. It's the latest in a string of awards for Dube, who was named as an All-Region player by D3baseball, ABCA, and the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA).  He was also selected to the NEIBA All-Star game.  

In the Little East Conference, Dube was chosen as the LEC Pitcher of the Year, just the second player in KSC history to do so, as well as being a First Team All-Conference selection.  

Dube finished the season with a 3-3 record in nine starts, striking out 84 batters in 67.2 innings with a 1.20 ERA.  He tossed three complete games and had five starts with 10 strikeouts or more, including a career high 15 against UMass Dartmouth on May 6.  His 84 strikeouts this year are the second highest single season total in KSC history, while his 166 career strikeouts are the second most in school history.  Dube also finished with a career ERA of 2.68, the third best total in school history for anyone with a minimum of 50 innings pitched.
