The Chicago White Sox have selected Oregon State Second Baseman Nick Madrigal with the 4th overall pick in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft.
The list of Nick Madrigal’s achievements in Corvallis is long. Madrigal was selected as a first team All-American by D1Baseball and Baseball America in 2017. He was also the Pac-12 Player of the Year that year. Even in his 2018, which was shortened by injury, he still managed to be a Golden Spike Award Semifinalist. Madrigal never showed a lot of power, but was reliably able to both generate hits, and find walks.
