Souza, Pakele get draft notices By Ferd Borsch Advertiser Staff Writer The Milwaukee Brewers' connection with the University of Hawaii baseball program remains intact. Pitcher Brian Souza learned yesterday that he had been selected Tuesday by Milwaukee in the 11th round of the 1990 baseball free-agent draft. He became the 18th Rainbow selected by the Brewers since 1978 when pitcher Rich Olsen and first baseman Dean Hall were drafted. Souza shared the local draft spotlight yesterday with University of Hawaii-Hilo pitcher Louis Pakele, who was picked in the late rounds yesterday by the California Angels. Souza, a righthander with an 89 mph fastball, was 6-5 with nine saves and a 3.78 earned run average as a junior last season. -"I'm excited about it and I really want to sign," Souza said H Souza Pakele that he and local Brewer scout Walter Komatsubara both submitted strong recommendations to draft Souza. "He had some good spots and he had some fair spots when I saw him pitch this season,' Poitevint said. "He was especially hot in the Easter tournament and he humps the ball. up there on an average 89 miles an hour." Poitevint, who has signed the likes of such former Rainbows as Joey Meyer, Chuck Crim and Glenn Braggs, said Souza has all of the ingredients to succeed. "Brian has size, arm strength and a selection of pitches," he said. "The guy at the plate has to determine whether he will be throwing the slider or curveball."

Ray Poitevint, vice in charge of international baseball operations for the Brewers who was responsible for most of the Hawaii signings in the past, was to call Souza Tuesday, but he had to make a quick trip to Japan instead. That caused the delay. Souza was told of his selection by Dick Foster, scouting director for the Brewers. "I really do want to go with the Brewers," Souza said. "They made me an offer but I told them I want to think about it. For the 11th round, think it's a decent offer, but I want to talk it over with my family and my close friends. The Brewers said they would give us until Sunday (to decide), but that's not a final deadline, either." Poitevint, a scout for the Brewers before taking on his international-level duties, said
