Yesterday was a day for celebration for Virginia Baseball. Not only were two more Wahoos selected early in the 2018 MLB Draft, but one of the top commits for next season was not drafted on Day 1.
Mike Siani, that top recruit, wasn’t taken in the third round either. Instead, he went early on in the fourth round to the Cincinnati Reds as the 109th overall selection. That position comes with a draft slot of about $500k. There is thought that the Reds will try to save money with some other picks in order to sign Siani for over slot.
