ARLINGTON — With the No. 28 overall pick in this year’s MLB draft, the Houston Astros selected right-handed pitcher Jack Radel out of Notre Dame on Saturday.
Radel, listed at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, had a 3.29 ERA over 87 ⅔ innings as a starter in his junior season at Notre Dame. He totaled 116 strikeouts and 22 walks in those 15 starts and had a 3.64-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in three college seasons.
A native of Sioux Falls, S.D., Radel was ranked as the No. 37 overall prospect available in this draft by Baseball America and No. 44 by MLB Pipeline. The Astros made him the eighth pitcher selected in a position player-heavy top of the draft.
