You can find hundreds upon hundreds of names in the

Noteworthy MLB names in the NFHS Record Book
Mike Moustakas - Chatsworth (Calif.)"The Moose" was indeed on the loose during his senior season at the Los Angeles City Section powerhouse, raking 24 home runs in 2007. That's tied for 12th in the most home runs in a season category.
Moustakas plays third base for the Kansas City Royals, after going straight to pro ball after high school and getting picked No. 2 overall by the Royals. He's having a brutally tough year, hitting .199, but in parts of four MLB seasons he has 51 homers.
