Draft starts at noon CT today with rounds 3-10. Cardinals should be picking relatively soon as they have the 19th pick in the third round. Our comprehensive list of scouting reports and previews is here. We’ll update the picks here and provide scouting reports as the day goes along.
A lot of seniors so far.
Round 3
Cardinals take outfielder Scott Hurst (JR) from Cal-State Fullerton.
Slot for the pick is $570,900
Here’s a snippet from Red Baron’s reaction:
If Hurst is the guy Cal State Fullerton fans saw this spring, he’s a legit four and a half, maybe even five tool player, and a potential steal.
Round 4
Cardinals take shortstop Kramer Robertson (SR) out of Louisiana State University
Slot for the pick is $424,800
Here’s a snippet from Red Baron’s reaction:
He’s not big, and there’s very little pop here, but Kramer Robertson will do whatever it takes to get on base.
Round 5
Cardinals take second baseman Zach Kirtley (JR) out of St. Mary’s.
Slot for the pick is $317,100
Round 6
Cardinals take catcher Zach Jackson out Winter Haven HS (Florida)
Slot for the pick is $243,500
Round 7
Cardinals take outfielder Chase Pinder (SR) from Clemson.
Slot for the pick is $190,700
Round 8
Cardinals take righthander Wilberto Rivera of the Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy.

Round 9
Cardinals take lefthander Evan Kruczynski (SR) from South Carolina
