After seeing Shane Dyer be drafted yesterday, the Eau Claire Express just had another starting pitcher taken on day two of the MLB draft.
Chris Odegaard, a hard-throwing right-hander from Minnesota State-Mankato, was taken by his hometown team, the Minnesota Twins, in the 23rd round. Odegaard was the 696th overall pick. He's a native of Glencoe, Minn.
Odegaard earned a no-decision Thursday night in the Express' loss to Waterloo. The 6-foot-3 righty strikes out a ton of hitters -- 17 in 11 innings this season -- but struggles with his control at times. He walked five batters in his first start and seven last night.
Stay tuned as to whether or not Odegaard remains with the Express.
