Arizona only had two players selected in the 2022 MLB Draft. It doubled that tally on Monday alone.
Four members of this past season’s Wildcats squad had their names called during the second day of the draft, and each stands to get a six-figure bonus to sign with the teams who picked them.
Right-handed pitcher TJ Nichols is headed to the Tampa Bay Rays after he went in the 7th round (183rd pick) on Monday, while first baseman Kiko Romero was taken in the 8th round (222nd) by the New York Yankees.
