Former No. 1 MLB pick Matt Bush released from prison

Matt Bush was released from prison on Friday after being incarcerated in 2012 for DUI with serious bodily harm, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.

The former No. 1 overall pick of the 2004 MLB Draft has a history of getting himself into bad trouble while drinking. His first arrest came just two weeks after he was drafted because of an incident at a bar, and he was put away for three years after he struck a man while drunk, then drove away.
