MLB Draft Opens With KU Players In The Mix
The MLB Draft starts at 6 p.m. at Cowtown Coliseum Fort Worth Texas with 74 selections including 30 televised on ESPN and MLB Network. KU faces uncertainty about roster spots as coach Dan Fitzgerald notes the team could be decimated yet continues adding transfer talent. Hunter Cranton, a right handed pitcher from Saddleback San Diego State and KU, tops potential KU selection with a 2.16 ERA seven saves 38 strikeouts. MLB.com ranks Cranton as No 213 prospect and Baseball America lists him as a senior sign with a high velocity fastball and slider.
