(Temple City) – Former Temple City Ram star Julian Jarrard has signed a contract as an undrafted free agent with the Milwaukee Brewers he confirmed Thursday.
Jarrard, who started playing baseball at Temple City National Little League at Millham Field, signed with the Brewers the day after the draft. He is in Arizona now and playing shortstop in Instructional Rookie ball.
Jarrard played in the Majors at TCN for the Dodgers and then went on to star at Temple City High School. He graduated in 2011 and then went on to play two years at Glendale Community College, one year at Biola and finished up at Menlo College.
“It’s an unreal feeling, something that I wanted and dreamed for my whole life,” Jarrard said. “It’s a surreal feeling. I have to slow down and let the moment sink in so I can try to cherish every moment. It’s been a tough grind – a long time since Millham.”
