Oakmont HS Alum Called up to Cleveland Indians

A Roseville native has been promoted from a minor-league baseball team to the Cleveland Indians.


Preston Guilmet, who graduated from Oakmont High School in 2005, learned about the call-up while pitching in a doubleheader for the Columbus Clippers Saturday.

"There's no real word that describes the feeling," a Cleveland Indians release quoted Guilmet as saying. "It's just a thrill to finally get the opportunity."

Guilmet played college baseball for the Arizona Wildcats, takes the place of Carlos Carrasco in the Indians' lineup.

"He's worked his way up all the way from Rookie ball," the Indians quoted team manager Terry Francona saying of Guilmet. "At every level, he has succeeded."
