DENVER — Jordan Wicks thought the moment would be magical. It was that and then some.
On Sunday, Wicks was selected by the Chicago Cubs with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft.
The former Conway pitcher becomes the first Kansas State player to ever be drafted in the first round.
During his interview following his selection, Wicks told MLB Network that it was
"a surreal moment,” adding, “It's stuff you dream about. I just couldn't be happier with wearing blue and red, that's for sure.”
