Wildcat ace and incoming signee may be off the books soon.
Although no Wildcats were taken on day one of the MLB Draft, K-State had two players selected today: ace starter Nate Griep and incoming JUCO transfer second baseman Willie Calhoun.
Both players would be big losses for the program at this juncture. Griep, taken in the eighth round by the Milwaukee Brewers with the 241st overall pick, was the glue that held the rotation together this spring. The right-handed redshirt soph was 6-3, 2;63 in all games and posted an eye-popping 1.96 ERA in Big 12 play.
