As expected, TCU lost a lot of talent to the MLB Draft. Over the last few days, all but two of the current and future Frogs selected in June’s MLB Draft chose to sign with their new clubs, meaning TCU will be without three of its biggest stars and four potential future stars.
In all, closer Durbin Feltman, slugger Luken Baker, and starting pitcher Sean Wymer all chose to forgo their senior seasons, while top recruits Cole Winn (pick #15 by the Rangers, for $1,350,000), Adam Kloffenstein (pick #88 by the Blue Jays, for $2,450,000 - almost two million over slot), Alek Thomas, a baseball and football signee (pick #41 by the Diamondbacks for $1,200,000) and Mateo Gil (pick #95 by the Cardinals for $900,000 - $300,000 over slot) will all skip college ball altogether in favor of beginning their professional careers straight out of high school.
