Gem of 2019 Draft Right Under Jerry’s Nose

In a generally weak draft, there’s going to be a ton of emphasis placed on finding impact talent outside of the first round. Rest assured, I have you covered, Jerry. Let me (re)introduce you to University of Oregon starting pitcher Kenyon Yovan.

Dipoto is surely familiar with the standout Duck, having drafted him in the 32nd round of the 2016 draft out of high school.

Yovan elected not to sign at that time, a decision that appears to have served the young man well. Mocked anywhere from the 3rd round to the 8th round by several publications, his untapped ceiling is the calling card that should have Seattle buzzing his phone next week.
