Lee ranked among MLB's best prospects
McKinney High School alum Zach Lee was recently ranked by ESPN as one of Major League Baseball's top prospects heading into the 2013 season.
Out of the thousands of players across MLB's vast multi-tier farm system, Lee was ranked No. 67.
The 21-year-old former Lion is a right-handed pitcher who bats right and last season played for the Los Angeles Dodgers' AA club in Chattanooga. Monday marks the beginning of spring training when pitchers and catchers report to their facilities.
Collin County man among Fan Cave finalists
Plano West alum Mina Park is among the 52 finalists for the MLB Fan Cave 2013 competition.

The competition's top 30 finalists are selected through fan voting, the original audition submission and ability to generate media buzz. Each finalist will be flown out to spring training in Arizona later this month.

Nike Hoop Summit selects Randle
McKinney resident Julius Randle, a Prestonwood Christian Academy alum, has been selected for the Nike Hoop Summit on Apr. 20 in Portland, Ore.
"Julius was obviously selected based on his ability to play basketball, but more importantly based on his character," said Chris Mayberry, Prestonwood head coach. "He has kept such a positive attitude dealing with the adversity of his injury and will continue to be selected for honors and awards because of his character."
The Nike Hoop Summit is one of the premier high school basketball showcases, pitting the country's top seniors against a World Select Team.
Randle is no stranger to such competition, capturing a gold medal on Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship last summer.
