Illinois Players Selected in MLB Draft

Maine West graduate Tyler Landendorf--currently playing shortstop for Howard College--was selected 60th by Minnesota. It was third consecutive year being drafted; each year his stock has risen. Right-handed pitcher Cory Adams, a former standout at Sherrard High School, was taken 62nd by the Brewers.

UPDATE: Leyden right-handed pitcher has been selected in the 16th round by the White Sox; Belleville West right handed pitcher Otto Roberts has been selected by the Indians; Conant left-handed pitcher Austin Wright has been selected by the Pirates; Sandburg RHP Greg Billo has been selected by the Royals.
