Royals Make Hochevar no. 1 Pick
| 10
|
The Kansas City Royals selected right-hander Luke Hochevar first in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft. Hochevar was the 2005 SEC Player of the Year in 2005 when he recorded a 15-3 record with 154 strikeouts and a 2.26 ERA. He most recently pitched for the Fort Worth Cats of the American Association after failing to come to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers who selected him in the 2005 draft with a supplemental pick (40th overall). A major concern surrounding the Scott Boras represented player is signability.
