Trand25, from French baseball site Honus, informed me that two Frenchmen, Frédéric Hanvi and Felix Brown, were selected by the Gunma Diamond Pegasus Baseball Club during the BC League's player draft on Friday.
I do not have any info on the two players, but if you can read French and have an interest, there is an article on Honus that provides some info.
