Not many Major League Baseball players come from Iowa Western Community College. In fact, you don’t even need all your fingers to count them. Their most famous alum is arguably Jon Lieber, who played 14 seasons in the majors. Kansas City Royals 2017 third-round draft pick, Daniel Tillo, is looking to following in his footsteps.
Tillo originally committed to the University of Kentucky. The former Mr. Basketball of Iowa was going to play both basketball and baseball but ultimately transferred to Iowa Western CC to focus just on baseball. After all, he was capable of throwing a 90-plus-mph fastball.
