With the coming of the 2015 MLB draft, hundreds of players were given the opportunity to ascend to baseball’s highest level. Among those beginning their professional careers next year are two Yellow Jackets, infielder A.J. Murray and outfielder Daniel Spingola.
Murray, a senior from Westfield, New Jersey, started every game this season and led the team with 14 multi-RBI games. A versatile player, he started at catcher, in the outfield, and as designated hitter at different points throughout the season. He was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 48 round of the 2011 draft, the year he left high school.
