Miami's First Draft Pick Heads to Pros | Washington Nationals News

Miami’s Daniel Cuvet, a third baseman who shattered program records with 54 homers and a .347 career average, is headed to the pros after being selected 138th overall by the Washington Nationals in the fifth round — the first Hurricane taken this year, with a $542,200 slot value. His standout college career included Freshman All-American honors and All-ACC First Team recognition. Fellow Hurricane Alex Sosa, drafted 172nd by the Athletics in the sixth round for $393,100, also joins the pros after a strong junior season. Both players have the option to return, but their draft picks mark the beginning of their MLB futures. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
