2010 MLB draft

Wisconsin ranks near the bottom most years when it comes to the number of players selected in the MLB draft.  Last year only 6 Wisconsin born players were selected.

Tyler Jones a RHP from Milwaukee was drafted by the White Sox in the 21st round, but instead chose to transfer to LSU after pitching for Madison College the last two years.  He also pitched for the Madison Mallards of the Northwoods League this past summer.  

Kurtis Muller  was taken in the 22nd round by the Reds. The Sun Prairie native decided to sign and forgo his senior season at Iowa.  He played CF for the rookie level Arizona League Reds last summer.

RHP Conor Fisk was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 34th round out of Grafton High School.  He didnt sign with the home state team and instead enrolled at Wabash Valley College in Illinois.  
Benjamin Versnik

West Allis native Benjamin Versnik was drafted in the 38th round by the Seattle Mariners after putting up a solid season working out of the pen for UW-Whitewater.  He made six appearances for the Mariners rookie league affiliate in Pulaski to end the summer. 

Kettle Moraine High alum Scott Matyas returned to the University of Minnesota after being selected in the 40th round by Milwaukee.  The RHP will likely be the closer for the Gophers again this season.

The Brewers also selected Billy Schroeder out of Grand Canyon University in the 47th round.  The Muskego native joined the military instead of following in his father's footsteps.
