With the No. 32 pick in the draft, the Rays selected outfielder Nick Schnell from Roncalli High School in Indiana.
We wrote about Schnell prior to the draft:
Like (Mets first-round pick Jarred) Kelenic, Schnell is committed to Louisville, so head coach Dan McDonnell will probably need to make new plans for his 2019 outfield.
That’s because Schnell has improved his stock significantly over the past year. In BA’s January draft ranking, he was the No. 111 player, and that may not have completely captured his rise up draft boards.
