College Years and Draft
Young attended Santa Barbara City College under coach Teddy Warrecker where he still holds the team records for hits, runs, home runs and RBIs.
Young was drafted twice by the Atlanta Braves in 2000 (31st round) and 2001 (29th round), but did not sign as he preferred to remain in college. He was next drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 4th round of the 2002 draft and signed with them on June 12, 2002.

Famous quotes containing the words college, years and/or draft:
“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Every few years something new breaks into the circle of my thoughts.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“It is crystal clear to me that if Arabs put down a draft resolution blaming Israel for the recent earthquake in Iran it would probably have a majority, the U.S. would veto it and Britain and France would abstain.”
—Amos Oz (b. 1939)
