As the 2022 MLB Draft presses on, another UConn arm will enter the professional ranks, as Patrick Gallagher has been selected by Toronto in the 11th round.
The Blue Jays can sign him to a bonus of up to $150,000 before it counts against their bonus pool.
The Leominster, Massachusetts native filled in as the Saturday starter for UConn this year and was a member of the Big East all-tournament team, and was named to the all-College Park Regional team, as part of his three strong starts in the postseason. Gallagher gave his team 20 1⁄3 innings, allowing eight runs on 19 hits, with 22 strikeouts against four walks.
