The Baltimore Orioles selected Arkansas outfielder Heston Kjerstad as the No. 2 overall pick in the MLB draft Wednesday.
Kjerstad is a left-handed, power hitter who played center field for the University of Arkansas' Razorbacks.
Before the coronavirus shutdown college sports in March, Kjerstad batted .448 with a 1.304 OPS and six home runs all the while improving his strikeout-to-walk rate, according to The Baltimore Sun.
“I think the thing we like about him the most, other than the bat and his makeup, other than who he is and where he comes from, is the fact that his power is really foul-pole to foul-pole — all fields, all types of pitches.
