Fudge, DeHeart withdraw from MLP draft consideration
DALLAS, TX - In the first public move of its kind ahead of next week’s Major League Pickleball drafts, Megan Fudge announced that she is withdrawing her draft application alongside her husband and fellow pro, Ryler DeHeart.
Fudge and DeHeart play almost exclusively APP events, so it will be interesting to see if any other familiar faces from those tournaments make similar decisions ahead of next week.
