With the first pick of the 16th Round of the 2014 MLB Draft (466th overall) the Astros select LF Ramon Laureano out of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M.
Laureano is a 5'11" 185lb righty-hitting sophomore, and he was this week named to the NCAA Division 1 All-Region 2 Team. This season he hit .439 with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, and 22 stolen bases in 164 at bats.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
