In the mid-to-late rounds of the MLB draft there are always tons of picks who’re related to players, coaches, managers, and front officer staffers, but here’s a little twist on that.
In the 19th round the Angels just picked Gannon University pitcher/infielder Aaron Cox, who happens to be the brother of Angels center fielder and reigning MVP Mike Trout’s girlfriend.Big congrats to my boy @Aaroncox19 getting drafted by the #Angels !! #MLBDraft #soSick
