'Jf Thursday, June 2, 1988 The Bismarck Tribune Pag3C Pitchers hot item in baseball draft Kahyasi triumphs at Epsom An Irish jockey who struggled for years to make a living, and Kahyasi, a horse described as "idle," fought off 13 other horses Wednesday to win the 209th Epsom Derby, the premier event of the British racing season. Ray Cochrane, who couldn't get enough mounts 10 years ago and for a while switched to being a steeplechase rider, rode 11-1 shot Kahyasi to victory and earned $548,525 for the horse's owner, the Aga Khan. Watched by an estimated crowd of 300,000, including Queen Elizabeth II, Kahyasi mastered the undulating Epsom Downs course to win a thrilling final furlong battle SPORTS DIGEST UW 111! 1 4 IE Ill The Aga Khan's Kahyasi, with Ray Cochrane aboard, charges to the finish line in the 209th Epsom Derby on Wednesday. Following by a length and one-half is runner-up Glacial Storm. NEW YORK (AP) Jim Abbott, the one-handed pitcher from the University of Michigan, was chosen by the California Angels as the eighth pick in baseball's pitcher-rich amateur draft Wednesday.

"They talked to me about my situation, having one hand," said A complete list of first-round draft picks may be found In the Scoreboard, Page 2C. Abbott, who was born without a right hand. "They said it didn't matter to them, that they just needed a left-handed pitcher." Pitchers dominated the first round, accounting for 14 of the first 26 olayers selected. Andy Benes, a right-handed pitcher from the University of Evansville, was taken by the San Diego Padres as the No. 1 pick, followed by a pair of high-school players.

Cleveland took shortstop Mark Lewis of Hamilton, Ohio, High School, Atlanta selected left-handed pitcher Steve Avery of John F. Kennedy High School in Taylor, and Baltimore chose right-handed pitcher Gregg Olsen of Auburn University. The Associated Press learned that Pete Rose the son of the Cincinnati Reds manager, was not picked through the first five rounds. Rose plays third base for Oak Hills High School in suburban Cincinnati and was expected to go in the first three rounds. The Angels made Abbott the fifth pitcher selected, though most teams thought he would not be drafted until the end of the first round or the start of the second.

Abbott, the 1987 Sullivan Award winner, faces not only the usual struggle of trying to make the major leagues, but he must also convince doubters he can pitch despite his handicap and protect himself from balls hit back to the mound. "We've watched him and we felt he's been able to make the adjustments necessary. He has no fear of the ball. Once we were convinced he could handle that part of the game we knew he'd be able to play. He's a remarkable young man," Angels scouting director Bob Fontaine Jr.

said. Before going into his wind-up, Abbott balances his glove on the nub of his right wrist. He delivers the ball and jams his left hand into the glove by the time the ball reaches the plate. When he catches the ball, he jams the glove under his right arm and the ball rolls into his left hand. It takes about a second.

"I don't think of myself as different," Abbott said. "I don't think of myself as courageous. I grew up learning to do things within my capabilities. I've had a good time doing what I've done." Abbott, the Big Ten player of the year, was 9-3 with a 3.32 earned run average and 82 strikeouts in 97 2-3 innings. He was 8-1 with a 1.70 ERA for the 1987 Pan American team, and was the first U.S.

pitcher to beat Cuba in 25 years. He hopes to pitch for the Olympic team this summer. Abbott was 26-8 in three seasons at Michigan after turning down a $50,000 offer from the Toronto Blue Jays, who took him on the 36th round in 1985, when he finished high school. Between the top four picks and Abbott's selection, the Los Angeles Dodgers took Bill Bene, a righthander from Los Angeles State, and Texas chose Monty Farris, Oklahoma State's shortstop. Houston went for Willie Ansley, a shortstop from Plainview, Texas, High School.

Eighteen of the 26 first-round players were from college teams, matching the high set in 1984. The 6-foot-5 Benes was 16-3 with a 1.42 with 187 strikeouts and 36 walks in 146 innings. He will start at either the Class A or Class AA level. "I don't know exactly where I would fit in," Benes said. "They've talked about Double A to start off.
