Jack Findlay of Notre Dame baseball gets taken in the 8th round of the MLB draft

Another member of the Irish off the board

Notre Dame baseball made its mark in the MLB draft on Monday, with two players getting selected by the eighth round.

First it was infielder Jack Penney getting taken in the fifth round by the Detroit Tigers. It was pitcher [autotag]Jack Findlay[/autotag]’s turn as he was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the eight round.

The lefty missed this past season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, which is a bit of a risk for the Cardinals. They liked what they saw during his previous two seasons, and must have believed that he’ll make a full recovery. It will be interesting to see what their plan is for him.

Either way, congrats to Jack on accomplishing a huge milestone. We look forward to watching a prosperous MLB career.
