Florida Gators outfielder Harrison Bader drafted by St. Louis

On Tuesday the St. Louis Cardinals selected Florida Gators junior outfielder Harrison Bader with the 100th overall selection in the 2015 MLB Draft.

Bader began the season red-hot but cooled off towards the middle of the season and enters the College World Series hitting .292. Bader is second on the team in RBI (61), home runs (15), doubles (14) and has a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in left field this season.

Bader slumped through the end of the season and the beginning of the SEC Tournament but found his stroke in the final two games in Hoover.
