The South Carolina Gamecocks baseball has suffered its first two losses of the recent MLB draft that saw 16 current roster players or recruits get chosen by MLB teams. In the last few days, junior college pitchers Donn Roach and Cam Greathouse came to terms with their respective teams, ending their chance to play at South Carolina.
Roach was drafted in the third round by the Angels out of the College of Southern Nevada. Greathouse came to agreement with the Chicago Cubs that selected him in the 8th round.
I could not find financial terms for the two but it had to be good money.
Here is a full rundown of those Gamecocks (current and future) that was drafted -
- Donn Roach – LA Angels, 3th round, 115 overall
- Sam Dyson – Toronto Blue Jays, 4th round, 126 overall
- Mason Williams – NY Yankees, 4th round, 145 overall
- Cam Greathouse – Chicago Cubs, 8th round, 250 overall
- Whit Merrifield – Kansas City Royals, 9th round, 269 overall
- Blake Cooper – Arizona Diamondbacks, 12th round, 361 overall
- Bobby Haney – San Francisco, 22nd round, 678 overall
- Steven Neff – Kansas City, 23rd round, 689 overall
- Bryan Harper – Chicago Cubs, 27th round, 820 overall
