Cleveland Indians pick Hunter Stanley of Southern Miss baseball in Round 11 of 2021 MLB Draft

Southern Miss' Hunter Stanley was selected by the Cleveland Indians with the No. 336 pick in Round 11 of the 2021 MLB Draft.

Transitioning from a bullpen position to a full-time starter in his COVID-19 senior season, Stanley struck out 127 with a 2.56 ERA on his way to a Second Team All-America selection.

The 6-foot right-hander went 6-4 on the season, utilizing his extra year at Southern Miss to find himself just outside Baseball America's top 250 players.

His impressive senior season earned him the Southern Miss Male Student-Athlete of the Year sward and should help him find a place in the big leagues.
