2017 MLB Draft Profile: UNC, RHP, J.B. Bukauskas

Posted Mar 14, 2017
J.B. Bukauskas is really good. Filthy may be a better word. The North Carolina junior right-hander has been solid for much of his collegiate career. This season he has taken it to a new level. Bukauskas has been in control since Opening Day when he struck out 10 batters. He is striking out batters by the boat load, already sitting down 37 in his 26 innings pitched. (Minor League Ball)
