DENVER – University of South Alabama outfielders Ethan Wilson and Michael Sandle were selected on day two of the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft on Monday.
The Philadelphia Phillies took Wilson with the 49th overall pick, which came in round two. It marked the highest a Jaguar has been drafted since Travis Swaggerty was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the 10th overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. The Houston Astros selected Sandle in the 10th round (298th overall) of the draft.
"First of all, I just want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to play this game," Wilson said.
