2016 MLB Draft: Arizona IF Cody Ramer drafted by Los Angeles Angels in 19th round

In the 19th round, Arizona Wildcats infielder Cody Ramer was drafted by his favorite team, the Los Angeles Angels.

Ramer has been Arizona's leadoff hitter all year, carrying a .357 batting average into Super Regional play. But as good as that is, his defense may be his best attribute, being an above average defender at second base, shortstop and third base.

"There's 30 organizations that need to have him really high tomorrow," head coach Jay Johnson said after Friday night's win against Mississippi State. "Because he's a really great player."

Heading into this season, there was no reason to think that Ramer would be drafted.
