More Illinois players picked in final day of MLB draft June 8, 2011
By Sean Duncan
Day 3 of the Major League Baseball Draft concluded Wednesday. Twenty Illinois players were selected in rounds 30 through 50, 11 of which were prep athletes.
In all, 46 Illinois-based players had their names called, a slightly below-average total from years past. On Tuesday, five prep players were selected, with New Trier outfielder Charlie Tilson being the highest draft in the state, a second-round pick by the Cardinals.
The first Illinois player picked on Wednesday was LHP Kyle Hunter, a former Galesburg HS standout who is now at Kansas State. Galesburg had another representative when Silver Streak senior RHP Tyler Farrell was selected in the 43rd round by the Yankees.
Other prep standouts who were picked on Wednesday include: Ottawa Marquette RHP Joe Ceja (38th round), Providence 3B Sam Travis (40th round), Hersey RHP Joe Perricone (40th round) and Harrisburg 3B Keelin Rasch (41st round), to name a few.
