Kansas baseball can build on MLB draft success
A pair of Kansas baseball players received exciting news last week. This kind of news should help coach Ritch Price in a big way.
For the first time in over ten year, two Kansas baseball players heard their names called in the top-ten rounds of the Major League draft. As a matter of fact, these two Jayhawk pitchers have a legitimate chance to make their dreams come true.
Left hander Blake Weiman is just a junior on the Kansas baseball team. The Pittsburg Pirates grabbed him in the eighth round. In round ten, the New York Mets took senior reliever Stephen Villines. If you follow major league baseball’s draft, you know it’s a huge process.
