Colton Laws became the second Charlotte player to be taken in the MLB Draft Tuesday afternoon when the Toronto Blue Jays selected the pitcher in the seventh round, 219th pick overall.
The right-handed starter led Conference-USA in ERA after the 2017 season with a 1.87, throwing 96.1 innings, allowing 20 earned runs and fanning 94 batters. He was also the only pitcher in the conference to not hit a batter during the 2017 season.
In 13 of the redshirt sophomore’s 15 starts, Laws recorded a quality start, going six innings or more while earning no more than three runs.
