Anthony Alford was taken #112 overall in the 2012 MLB Draft. His athleticism wowed scouts and teams who projected him to go within the first round. The reason Alford fell so late is because many thought he would commit to football over baseball. The Blue Jays let Alford have the opportunity to continue with football by letting him still play, but playing baseball in the summer.
