Two players from Michigan baseball were selected Thursday in the 2020 MLB draft.
The Oakland Athletics selected pitcher Jeff Criswell in the second round with the 58th overall pick. His teammate, outfielder Jordan Nwogu, was tabbed by the Chicago Cubs 88th overall in the third round.
Criswell, a right-handed pitcher, helped the Wolverines reach the College World Series in 2019. He was first drafted in the 35th round of the 2017 draft by the Detroit Tigers out of Portage Central High, but chose to play in college.
His power arm gives him versatility as either a starter or reliever in the pros.
