The University of Louisville baseball team is saying goodbye to another good one.
Zach Britton, a 21-year-old junior outfielder, was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft. He was tabbed in the fifth round, the 136th pick overall. The third UofL player this draft behind pitchers Reid Detmers, the 10th pick to the Los Angeles Angels, and Bobby Miller, the 29th pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Louisville fans are used to losing great players, having had 72 of them taken by 27 teams in the MLB draft events since 2007.
