                         Tuesday, June 20, 2017

  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
Sam Keating and his recent selection to the San Diego Padres in the 
2017 MLB draft. Keating, a right-handed pitcher, was selected in the 
fourth round and has already signed with the organization.
   Keating's high school career was one to be remembered as he led the 
Canterbury Cougars to back-to-back Class 3A championships. In his 
senior year, he went 11-1 on the mound with a 1.06 Earned Run Average 
and 93 strikeouts.
   I would like to congratulate Keating for taking the first step into 
the professional realm. His hard-work and dedication are paying off, 
and I look forward to hearing about his successes in the years to come.
