Alright, so the name Connor Hujsak popped up on my radar, something about the MLB draft. You know how it is, you hear a name, especially around draft time, and you get a little curious. So, I decided to do a bit of digging myself, see what the fuss was all about, or if there even was any fuss.
My First Steps
First thing I did, pretty standard stuff, I just punched his name into the usual search engines. “Connor Hujsak MLB draft” – kept it simple. Lots of links come up, you know, bits and pieces here and there. I wasn’t looking for some super deep analysis right away, just trying to get a basic picture. Who is this guy?
I started clicking around. Some college baseball sites had mentions. I think he was playing for Mississippi State, if I recall correctly. Saw some stats from his college season. You try to piece together a story from those numbers – batting average, home runs, that kind of thing. You’re trying to see if anything jumps out.
Sifting Through Information
Then I tried to look for any specific draft previews or scouting notes. This is where it can get a bit messy. Some sites are paywalled, others are just rehashes of the same basic info. I was looking for something a bit more substantial, maybe some video clips if I could find any easily. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t.
- Checked college team roster pages: Confirmed his position, year, basic bio stuff.
- Looked for news articles: See if any local sports writers were talking him up before the draft.
- Scanned draft boards: Tried to see where, or if, he was projected to go. These can be all over the place, mind you.
I remember seeing some talk about his power potential, maybe some decent speed. But it wasn’t like he was a top-five pick, you know? More like one of those guys who could be a solid pick for a team, someone with tools they could develop. It’s always interesting to follow these kinds of prospects because they’re not the big headline names, but they’re the backbone of any draft class.
Draft Day Follow-Up
So, the draft rolls around. I wasn’t glued to every single pick for every single round, but I did make a point to check in on some of the names I’d been tracking, Hujsak included. You keep refreshing those draft tracker pages, or follow along on social media where they announce the picks.
And sure enough, his name got called. I recall it was the New York Yankees who picked him up. Can’t remember the exact round off the top of my head right now, maybe somewhere in the middle rounds? It’s always good to see a kid get that call, achieve that dream. It felt like my little bit of digging had a conclusion, seeing him actually get drafted.
The Outcome: He was indeed drafted. I think it was the Yankees. For me, it was just a little exercise in following a player’s journey from being a name I heard to an actual MLB draft pick. It’s a fun little process if you’re into baseball and the draft.
So yeah, that was my little dive into Connor Hujsak and the MLB draft. Just a bit of online legwork and keeping an eye on things. Nothing too groundbreaking, but it’s how I usually follow these things.
