Bobby Scales II (1995)

Bobby earn 6 varsity letters at Milton, attended University of Michigan and was drafted by the San Diego Padres to play professional baseball. He made his professional debut with the Chicago

Cubs in 2009. He ended his playing career in Japan and was appointed Director of Player Development with the L.A. Angels in 2012 and promoted to Special Assistant to the GM with the Angels in 2015. In 2018 Bobby joined the Pittsburgh Pirates as Minor League Field Coordinator and in 2021 is currently serving as the Coordinator of Strategic Insights for Player Development with the Pirates.

As an indication of Bobbys enduring connection to Milton, during the off seasons while in the minor leagues, Bobby spent time substituting at Milton High School and working with Milton area youth baseball players. Most people are kind of lukewarm about their old high school....not me. Milton High was the launching pad for many of the awesome experiences Ive had. I love that place!!!Bobby was inducted into the MHS Hall of Fame inaugural class of 2016.
