Last year, the St. Louis Cardinals drafted a young high schooler in the first round of the MLB Draft that went on to be one of the most exciting picks from last year in the entire draft. Nolan Gorman was and is a special talent and scouting director Randy Flores has looked good in his first few drafts running the ship.
This year seemingly wasn’t any different by my estimations.
The Cardinals first seven rounds included the following picks:
Round 1: Zack Thompson, LHP, Kentucky
Round 2: Trejyn Fletcher, CF, Deering HS (ME)
Round 3: Tony Locey, RHP, Georgia
Round 4: Andre Pallante, RHP, UC Irvine
Round 5: Connor Thomas, LHP, Georgia Tech
Round 6: Pedro Pages, C, Florida Atlantic
Round 7: Jack Ralston, RHP, UCLA
Notice a trend there?
