Faulkner had a second player taken Wednesday in the draft, marking the first time since 2008 the school has had two players picked in one year.
Right-handed pitcher Colby Broussard was the 44th-round choice of the Toronto Blue Jays, one day after the San Diego Padres grabbed left-hander R.L. Eisenbach in the 23rd round.
Before this week, Faulkner players had been drafted just six times, including pitcher Austin Adams twice. Adams passed on Milwaukee's 27th-round offer in 2008 and signed with Cleveland as a fifth-round pick in 2009. Outfielder Kevin Leslie was also a 50th-rounder in 2009.

Kevin Leslie and Austin Adams were both drafted in 2008 as well!
You're right. It's updated. (Baseball America's database didn't have Leslie.)
First, that database is still a great resource. Second, thanks for letting me know, Austin.
