Draft is always fun to look at . Hopfully some of these guys can hit the bigs!!!!
 
I know stats sometimes don't mean a whole lot when you draft a guy, especially late but..

Round 26: Drew Crosby, LHP, Memphis

Crosby managed a 6.18 ERA in 131 career innings at Memphis.

Must be a mistype or something :nod:

Not a typo. If you can throw a ball from the mound to the plate and reach the catcher 2 out of 3 times as a lefty you'll get drafted.

Detroit Tigers to introduce first-round pick Alex Faedo today.
Freep

Faedo, who will be introduced by the team during a 3 p.m. news conference today, was selected by the Tigers with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft.

His great junior season was capped with a win in the College World Series.
In 2017, Faedo went 9-2 with a 2.26 ERA and 157 strikeouts in 123 2/3 innings pitched.
He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the College World Series, pitching Florida to its first-ever national championship with 14 1/3 shutout innings.

Faedo, 21, fits the Tigers? profile of recent first round draftees: He is a big right-hander, listed at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, and was considered one of the best power pitchers in this year?s draft class.
In three seasons at Florida, Faedo went 28-6 with 2.80 ERA, striking out 349 batters in 289 2/3 innings.
Faedo was also drafted in the 40th round by the Tigers three seasons ago.

The Tigers have now agreed to terms with 30 out of 40 players drafted and 22 of their first 23 selections.
