Good day, eh?

Michigan left-hander Connor O'Halloran was selected in the fifth round, 157th overall, by his hometown Toronto Blue Jays during Day 2 of the Major League Baseball Draft on Monday.

O'Halloran was the Big Ten pitcher of the year in 2023, posting a conference-best 1.13 WHIP while striking out 110 in 101.3 innings. He had back-to-back 100-strikeout seasons, a first in Michigan baseball history.

O'Halloran finished his Michigan career 10th in strikeouts, and also was an all-region selection this season, when he posted a 4.11 ERA. Opponents hit just .231 against him, while he walked just 26.
