The Major League Baseball Draft started Friday, June 9 with a few Oregon players on the bubble for getting selected.
Well, day one went by and none of your Ducks got picked up.
That has not been the story on day two. Three Oregon pitchers have gone off the board so far.
Congratulations, @krook_daddy!
