On Sunday night in the second round of the MLB Draft, Miami Third Basemen, Yohandy Morales, was selected 40th overall by the Washington Nationals and was the first Hurricane to be drafted. The Miami product via Cuba attended Braddock High in Miami and has been a staple in the Canes’ lineup for the past three seasons.
Many suspected Morales would be selected in the first round so he slightly slipped in last night’s draft. That being said, Morales is no stranger to flying under the radar after he went undrafted as a Cuban prospect.
