CCBC is proud to claim one of the newly drafted members of the Baltimore Orioles as one of its own. Mike Flacco, a member of the CCBC Catonsville baseball team and brother of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, was drafted by the Orioles to play third base.

A freshman, Mike finished the year at CCBC leading the team in hits (67), home runs (14) , RBIs (51) and batted .399. He was recently selected to the third team of the 2009 NJCAA Division II All-American baseball team.

Articles about Mike have appeared in the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, MLB.com, the Patuxent newspapers and a variety of blogs and Internet sites.

CCBC congratulates Mike and wishes him much success with the Orioles.
