Jayhawks navigate MLB Draft with Cranton standout and hopes
Draft coverage centers on Cranton as the lone current Jayhawk in MLB top 250 with over 600 selections possible across three days. Frontline name Kodey Shojinaga, KU infielder, a 21 year old draft-eligible sophomore, is ranked 413 by Perfect Game and posted .335 with 46 RBIs over 54 starts in 2024. Shojinaga and pitcher Tegan Cain trained at the Draft Combine, where Shojinaga launched a 415.9 foot drive. Other Jayhawks tied to the draft include Michael Brooks, Collier Crawford, Reese Dutton, JBrrell Easley, Jake English, Ben Hartl, Ethan Lanthier, and Evan Shaw, with KU hoping to avoid past draft losses like Dominic Voegele and to capitalize on undrafted free agent signings from Baumgartner and Elvis.
