Cal Baseball in 2016 MLB Draft Recap

While 7 Golden Bears selected in the MLB Draft is not quite the record high (8 were taken in 2004 and 2006), plenty of Golden Bears heard their names called, and often quite early, in the 40 rounds of the 2016 MLB Draft last week. All indications are that all of the taken Bears will sign.

Let's take a closer look at where these Bears were taken.

For more up-to-date status of whether a player has signed (the deadline is July 15th), check outthis SBNation tracker.
