Oregon State pitcher Luke Heimlich was one of the best collegiate pitchers in the country, but he was not selected in the 2018 MLB draft for reasons beyond his on-field ability.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Heimlich was not picked during the 40-round draft. The Beavers ace pled guilty to molesting his six-year-old niece when he was a teenager before attending Oregon State, though he has since publicly said he is innocent.
