The Kentucky Wildcats baseball team set a record during the MLB Draft in June.
The Cats led the nation last month with 13 players from last year’s team drafted to the Major Leagues. Several former UK players are making their mark in the minor leagues. Let’s check in on a few of the stars from last year’s team.
Sean Hjelle, Pitcher – San Francisco Giants
Sean Hjelle was the ace of the Wildcats’ staff last season. The 6’11” Minnesota native, who won SEC Pitcher of the Year honors in 2017, had another fantastic season on the mound for the Cats.
