The Kansas City Royals selected former Missouri Tiger pitcher Aaron Crow with their first round selection pick in the MLB draft. Crow was this year’s 12th overall pick after not signing with Washington last year.
Instead of signing with the Nats for $3.5 million, Crow played independent ball. According to his scouting report on MLB.com :
His command was a little off, but on the flip side, his changeup was much improved. Players who have gone the indy route while negotiating or re-entering the draft have tended to improve their standing and it’s looking like Crow will be no different.
