MLB Draft 2017: Cleveland Indians select SS/2B Tyler Freeman with No. 71 pick

The Cleveland Indians have selected second baseman/shortstop Tyler Freeman out of Etiwanda High School in Rancho Cucamonga, California with the 71st overall pick of the 2017 MLB Draft. He is currently committed to Texas Christian.

On MLB.com's Top 200 Prospect Watch, Jones came in at number 141, so he's talented, but not one of the elite prospects this year. With the Tribe taking Quentin Holmes at pick 64, I’m thinking they are hoping to go under slot with Freeman so they can give Holmes some extra dough to get him to sign.
