Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 2)

[RedlegJake]

Bennett Klimesh, RHP from Trinity U.

[RedlegJake]

last 6 picks have been 1 HS and 4 college pitchers and Peterson, the SS.

[RedlegJake]

That's the end of day two.

Ben Klemish throws 91-96 MPH, big strikeout numbers at a smaller school. Not the best walk rate either though. Senior, so assuming he wants to keep playing baseball, he will sign.

5 high schoolers, 12 college players, right? Three of our first four picks were prepsters.

I think you are right. Travieso, Winker, Rahier, Felt, and Kivel are all high school guys.
