The St. Louis Cardinals did a very good job in the first day of the draft. Picking Nolan Gorman (19th overall), Griffin Roberts (43rd overall), and Luken Baker (75th overall) has started this year’s draft off well. With seven total picks for the Cardinals on day two, there is just as much potential coming from these later rounds.
In the past the Cardinals have found gems in Paul DeJong (4th round, 2015), Harrison Bader (3rd round, 2015), and Jordan Hicks (3rd round, 2015) who are all impacting the major league club right now.
