B.J. Upton to represent Rays at the MLB Draft

The annual MLB Draft is fast approaching and the 30 organizations around the game have announced who they’ll have representing their team during the first day of the draft.

For the Tampa Bay Rays, they will have former outfielder B.J. Upton, and current scout Lou Wieben in their booth.

Upton last played professionally during the 2017 season, in the minor league system of the San Francisco Giants.

Upton was the 2nd overall selection in the 2002 draft, taken by the Rays. He quickly rose through the system and made his Major League debut in 2004 at the ripe old age of 19.
