ST. LOUIS -- Day 2 of the 2018 MLB Draft is complete, and the Cardinals showed they want versatility in their system. The Cards drafted four infielders, three pitchers, two outfielders and a catcher on Tuesday. Power was still an obvious priority for St. Louis, as it drafted several sluggers, but proven collegiate pitchers were also a major focus.
"The day started off with a couple of picks that we were just really pleased with, and then you go all the way to the ninth and 10th [rounds] and we found some fits that we really are intrigued about what their professional development entails," Cardinals scouting director Randy Flores said.
