SALT LAKE CITY — The final day of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft wrapped up Wednesday with a handful of locals taken off the board after a second day that featured four local prospects.
Utah’s Andre Jackson was selected in the 12th round (No. 370 overall) by the Los Angeles Dodgers, which also drafted Ute teammate Riley Otteson with the No. 160 pick in the fifth round Tuesday.
Jackson, though, did not play the 2017 season with the Utes. The junior right-hander and outfielder from Tucson, Arizona, redshirted this past season after Tommy John surgery and 12 career appearances on the mound.
