| Royals draft IF Mike Moustakas The Kansas City Royals selected high school infielder Mike Moustakas with the #2 pick in the 2007 MLB Draft.
So what's the word on this kid? According to Yahoo! Sports, Moustakas is "California's career high school home run leader (52) hit a state-record 24 this season while leading school to city title at Dodger Stadium. Left-handed slugger is rated as best high school power hitter in draft by Baseball America with smooth swing. Played shortstop in high school, but projects more as corner infielder in pros. Also served as team's closer, but will be position player at next level despite mid-90s fastball. Also played quarterback for a few years in high school, but dedicated himself to baseball." Good pick? |
