J.B. Bukauskas: Prospect Profile, MLB Comparison for Astros' 1st-Round Pick
Posted Jun 13, 2017
J.B. Bukauskas was in the mix to be picked in the first round of the 2014 draft after he reclassified from a junior to a senior prior to the start of that year's high school season. Baseball America ranked him as the No. 33 prospect in the class. He was set on honoring his commitment to UNC, however, and did just that after slipping to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 20th round.
