Coming into this draft, the college pitchers were the focus for many Red Sox fans, with Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker enamoring many around Boston. They went with a high school infielder instead, and in fact it took them until this seventh round pick to grab their first college arm of the class. That pick was Wyatt Olds, a right-handed pitcher out of the University of Oklahoma. The 21-year-old (he turns 22 next month) struggled this past year for the Sooners, pitching to a 5.23 ERA over 75 2⁄3 innings, striking out 101 and walking 37.
