Outfielder Kameron Misner is widely projected as a first-rounder tonight, while lefthanded pitcher T.J. Sikkema will likely hear his name called in the second round. If so, they will be the highest selected pair of MU teammates from the same roster — with a bit of an asterisk.
In 2009, Mizzou produced two first-round draft picks in pitchers Aaron Crow and Kyle Gibson, but they didn’t both pitch for the 2009 Missouri team. The Washington Nationals drafted Crow No. 9 overall in 2008 after his All-American junior season, but he didn’t sign with the Nationals, and instead of returning to Mizzou for another season he pitched for the Fort Worth Cats in an independent league.
