Go to the MLB.com Draft Tracker, and it doesn’t take long to find the first strange thing about the Tampa Bay Rays’ 20th round pick, right-hander Edrick Agosto. Agosto is one of just four players in this year’s draft not to have a school listed. If you know Agosto a little bit better, there is also a second reason for curiosity: his weight. Previously listed as high as 247 pounds by Perfect Game, Agosto is listed at just 220 pounds by Perfect Game.
Agosto is a graduate of the Puerto Rican Baseball Academy, and at one point or another, he was committed to Broward Community College and Alabama State.
