MLB Draft 2019: Dodgers draft Kody Hoese from Tulane in first round
Clyde VerdinWith the No. 25 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, the Dodgers selected third-baseman Kody Hoese from Tulane.
According to our own David Hood, he was ranked as the No. 27 overall prospect. On the MLB.com prospects list, Hoese came in as the No. 25 overall prospect, so the Dodgers drafted him right around where most experts ranked him as a player.
This past season, the 6’2 junior hit .391 with an on-base percentage of .486. He hit 23 homers, which ranked fourth in all of division one baseball, and drove in 61 runs. He also had more walks (39) than strikeouts (34). It’s no surprise that he was named the American Athletic Conference player of the year.
