The Oakland A’s selected Jeremy Eierman with the No. 70 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. The 21-year-old is a shortstop from Missouri State University.
With this pick, all three of the A’s selections on Day 1 were college hitters. In the 1st round they chose outfielder Kyler Murray, in the 2nd round they took outfielder Jameson Hannah, and now they’ve grabbed Eierman in the Competitive Balance B round. In an odd twist, Eierman was the highest ranked of the trio on MLB Pipeline’s pre-draft board.
A's got 29, 32 and 36 in https://t.
