With the sixth pick of the 2018 MLS SuperDraft, Orlando City selected forward Chris Mueller out of Wisconsin. Playing with the self-proclaimed nickname “Cash,” Mueller played up top for his first four appearances before settling in on the right side of the midfield, a position that turned out to be a much better fit.
The rookie made a name for himself on April 8 when he came on as a sub in the 67th minute for Josué Colmán against the Portland Timbers. Down 2-0, Mueller missed an open shot on goal that would’ve pulled one back, but made up for it when he scored in the 80th minute.
