Central Bucks East senior third baseman Chase Harlan was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday in the third round of the 2024 Major League Baseball Draft. Harlan was the 98th pick of the draft.
The recommended slot bonus for that selection is $745,000.
Harlan, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound third baseman, was recently named to the Class 6A Pennsylvania Baseball Coaches Association’s first team. He helped lead CB East to a 17-8 record, the Patriots’ first outright division title since 2013 and their first-ever PIAA berth.
A Clemson commit, Harlan batted .382 with 23 RBIs, five homers and 14 extra-base hits. He had an OPS of 1.256 and had an on-base percentage over .500.
Harlan becomes the highest drafted Bucks County position player since the then Cleveland Indians selected Holy Ghost Prep’s Nolan Jones in the second round (55th pick) in 2016.
