Washington’s Nationals selected left-hander Tim Cate, 20, with the 65th pick in the 2nd Round of the 2018 MLB Draft after he went (5-4) in 11 games (seven starts) for the UConn Huskies this season with a 2.91 ERA, 19 walks, 67 Ks, and a .258 BAA in 52 2⁄3 IP.
“Tim Cate is an advanced collegiate starter who gained even more experience playing with Team USA for two summers,” Assistant GM and VP of Scouting Ops Kris Kline said in a press release on the selection.
“He has one of the best left-handed curveballs in the Draft to go along with a really good fastball.
