Four Gophers were taken in this week’s MLB Draft. Once you enter college baseball, you are not eligible for the draft until after your junior season. So which juniors and seniors were taken this week?
RP - Brett Schulze (JR)
Round: 7
Team: Philadelphia Phillies
The Gopher closer was the first to be taken this year and he went in the 7th round to Philadelphia. This year Schulze was 5-1 with 9 saves and had 55 strikeouts in 41 innings pitched. The Maple Grove native will have the option of returning to the Gophers for his senior season, but being drafted this high is usually a spot where guys will leave.
