OF/2B Ian Happ becomes the first Bearcat to be drafted in the first round of the MLB draft, taken ninth overall by the Chicago Cubs.
If there is an award for Cincinnati's Ian Happ to win this year, he's won it... or at least been a finalist. Happ has been a rare bright spot in what has been an otherwise rough season for the young Bearcats baseball team. Now, the junior earns perhaps his greatest honor, being drafted ninth overall by the Chicago Cubs in the MLB Draft, making him the first Bearcat ever to be drafted in the first round.
