Connor Muldowney The Detroit News Published 12:21 p.m. UTC Jun 5, 2018 Baltimore chooses RHP Texas A&M commit With the No. 11 pick, the Orioles chose right-hander Grayson Rodriguez from Central Heights High School in Texas. Although he's committed to Texas A&M, it's unlikely he follows through on that as the 6-5, 220-pounder has broken out this spring with a mid-90s fastball and solid off-speed pitches. Pirates select South Alabama OF Travis Swaggerty Pittsburgh chose an outfielder in Travis Swaggerty from South Alabama No. 10 overall. He hit .298 with 13 home runs and 38 RBIs with South Alabama in 2018. He could be a future leadoff hitter, but strikes out a bit much.

He's reportedly coming back to Oklahoma for his junior season with the Sooners, but he may be leaning toward a future in baseball.

High School senior Jarred Kelenic. Committed to Louisville, the athletic 6-1, 190-pound outfielder has plenty of potential, but could be an eye-opening defender.

Reds pick Florida 3B Jonathan India No. 5 overall Infielders have been flying off the board and that remained true with the Reds selecting third baseman Jonathan India from Florida. The Gators' infielder broke out during his junior season, hitting .364 with 18 home runs and 45 RBIs. He's a do-it-all athlete who can hit for average and power and steal the occasional base.
