Trio of Illini drafted on third day
CHAMPAIGN — Doran Turchin closed the 2018 season on a strong note. The Illini left fielder struggled at the plate early in the season, but he hit .297 in Big Ten play to earn third-team All-Big Ten honors.
Turchin finished his junior season batting .272 with nine home runs, 13 doubles and 32 RBI to go with a career-high 11 stolen bases. That production saw the Baltimore Orioles select the Oak Creek, Wis., native selected with the 11th pick of the 14th round (No. 415 overall).
Luke Shilling was selected by the Chicago White Sox with the third pick of the 15th round and No. 438 overall.
