Tillo headlines pitching-heavy Day 2 for KC
(MLB.com Kansas City Royals)

Daniel Tillo itched to pitch. There he was, riding the bench at the University of Kentucky, pitching only 7 1/3 innings as a freshman in 2016. He told head coach Gary Henderson he would return, despite the frustration he felt. But when Henderson resigned that summer, Tillo transferred. He wanted to pitch regularly, he wanted to prove himself. On Tuesday afternoon, that decision paid off as the Royals selected Tillo with the 90th overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft.
