Three more Cal Bears were taken in the MLB Draft—including Brandon McIlwain

Days one and two of the MLB Draft saw a total of four California Golden Bears get drafted—two each day.

Day three saw three more Bears get their name called, bringing Cal’s total to seven Bears. The first Bear to be taken on this day was in the twelfth round—Arman Sabouri to the Milwaukee Brewers.

“Then I heard ‘Arman Sabouri’ on the live stream and I just went into shock,” [Sabouri] said.

The lefty split this season between starting as an “opener,” usually throwing two to four innings, and coming out of the bullpen, where he recorded four saves.
