There was no hand-wringing, no nervous pacing, no repeated checks to make sure the phone was working just in case someone might want to call.
The first day of Major League Baseball’s annual draft was just another day for University of Hawaii at Hilo pitcher Jordan Kurokawa, who anticipates being selected by one of the teams before it all concludes Saturday night.
Because of his profile as a fifth-year senior, Kurokawa knew he wouldn’t be drafted in Thursday’s first two rounds, but he thinks it’s possible that he could get a call Friday when rounds 3-19 are held, and failing that, there’s always rounds 20-40 on Saturday.
