So this was pretty cool.
The Detroit Tigers selected college pitcher Ryan Castellanos in the 25th round of the MLB Draft, and they had his brother, who also happens to be their third baseman — Nick Castellanos — announce the pick to MLB:

While Nick is 23 and has played in 218 career games since signing out of high school, his brother elected to go to college. After spending two seasons at Illinois, Ryan went 9-3 with a 3.23 ERA and 17 walks compared to 61 strikeouts for Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
“Awesome,” Nick Castellanos said of making the pick via MLive.com. “It was freakin’ awesome.”
