Rye High School graduate and former No. 1 MLB draft pick B.J. Surhoff is the subject of the first episode of a new documentary series spotlighting Westchester County athletes.

The episode, part of the series Origins: Legends of Westchester, will premiere at a private screening in Rye on Thursday, Sept. 24, Westchester Magazine reported.

Surhoff's family, friends and other notable Westchester figures are expected to attend. A larger public screening is scheduled for the Westchester County Center in November.

Origins is the creation of executive director Wayne Anderson, a White Plains native who played football at the University at Albany and later became a free agent with the Miami Dolphins.

Anderson returned to Westchester after a decade in Florida and now works in public relations and media production.

Anderson told Westchester Magazine he was struck by how many accomplished people came from the county and how few of their stories were being preserved in connection to their home communities.

The inaugural season will feature four segments on athletes with Westchester roots, including football player Art Monk and basketball player Saniya Chong.

Surhoff was a three-sport All-State athlete at Rye High School who batted .520 as the Garnets' shortstop and posted a 6-1 pitching record as a senior, according to the SABR BioProject.

The Milwaukee Brewers selected him first overall in the 1985 draft out of the University of North Carolina.

Over 18 MLB seasons with the Brewers, Baltimore Orioles and Atlanta Braves, Surhoff compiled a .282 batting average with 2,326 hits, 188 home runs and 1,153 RBIs. His best season came in 1999, when he led the American League in at-bats, finished second in hits with 207 and earned All-Star honors. The Orioles inducted him into their Hall of Fame in 2007.

Before his professional career, Surhoff played on the 1984 U.S. Olympic Baseball team in Los Angeles. Baseball was a demonstration sport that year, not a full medal event. The U.S. team lost the championship game to Japan.

The documentary crew filmed at Surhoff's family home in Maryland and at Camden Yards, interviewing former teammate Cal Ripken Jr. among others.

"I want to recognize everybody who helped me throughout my life and that made a difference — family, friends, coaches, whomever," Surhoff told Westchester Magazine. "For me, letting people know that nobody gets anywhere on their own is important."

Surhoff and his wife Polly founded Pathfinders for Autism after their son Mason was diagnosed with autism. The nonprofit hosts training courses for first responders on interacting with people who have intellectual disabilities and holds monthly family events. Surhoff serves as president, and Mason now works for the organization.

The public screening date and ticket details for the November event at the Westchester County Center have not been announced.
