2015 MLB Draft: Washington Nationals Select Two Outfielders In 2nd Round
The Washington Nationals had to wait a long time before they made their first picks of the 2015 MLB Draft last night. In the second round, General Manager and President Of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo decided to go with outfielders for picks number 58 and 69. With those picks, the organization selected Anthony Stevenson from LSU and Blake Perkins from Verrado High School in Arizona.
Stevenson was taken at pick number 58, a selection that the Nationals had as a compensatory pick because they were not able to sign Andrew Suarez in last year’s draft. The left-handed pitcher was selected with the 61st pick by the San Francisco Giants in this draft.
