 Cole Hamels attended <unk> Middle School and Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego . He was a " gifted student " , and scored a <unk> ( out of 1600 ) on the SAT . Scouts were interested in Hamels while he was in high school primarily because his fastball was <unk> as high as 94 miles per hour ( 151 km / h ) , and his secondary offerings were considered advanced . However , some teams lost interest when Hamels broke his left humerus during his sophomore year . Nonetheless , Hamels was drafted in the first round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft by the Philadelphia Phillies , who held the 17th overall selection .
