For the 2nd straight year, 5 Kentucky Wildcats were selected in MLB's annual amateur draft.
Gary Henderson continues to demonstrate that Kentucky Baseball is on the way up with another good draft class. In all, 9 players with Kentucky ties were selected: 5 current Cats and 4 high school recruits. It's going to be tough losing any of these players from next year's team, but as we've seen with John Calipari one of the best ways to attract talent in the future is to demonstrate draft success in the present.
Below are the results from the draft, along with the signing bonus pool amount assigned to each pick.
