The Illini's star pitcher is going to be a first round pick in next week's MLB Draft. This is new and strange.
The 2015 MLB Draft starts next Monday night. Baseball's draft tends to be the least dramatic of the Big Four's since almost all of the players taken won't play for the team selecting them for at least a year or two (or ever, if we're being honest with ourselves). You don't get to have that same Christmas morning feeling you get from the NBA or NFL drafts. Add in the fact that there are over 1,000 players selected and the fatigue sets in even more.
