Four Nebraska Ballplayers Taken on MLB Draft's Final Day

Four players with Nebraska ties were selected on the third and final day of the Major League Baseball entry draft as the proceedings concluded with the 31st through the 50th rounds. Nebraska’s Kash Kalkowski was taken in the 50th round by the Kansas City Royals. A draft-eligible sophomore, Kalkowski was second on the Huskers in home runs and RBI in 2011. It’s the second time Kalkowski’s been selected in the draft. He was taken in the 49th round by Tampa Bay in the 2008 draft out of Grand Island Senior High. Two small college players from the state were also selected. Left-handed pitcher Andre Kinder from Peru State College was tabbed in the 42nd round by the Philadelphia Phillies. Wayne State College’s Mike Bisenius, an outfielder, went in the 48th round to the Washington Nationals. One Nebraska prep player was chosen as well. Millard West pitcher Adam Ladwig was picked by Philadelphia in the 50th round.
