Hentges selected in Round 4

Mounds View lefthander taken by Cleveland

June 6, 2014 at 9:18PM

Mounds View High School pitcher Sam Hentges was selected by Cleveland in the fourth round of Friday's major league draft. Hentges became the first Minnesotan taken in the draft. He was selected No. 128 overall.

Hentges love Hentges' 6-6, 235 pound frame. The Mounds View senior also plays first base, and is a power-hitting prospect.

Hentges has a tough decision to make: He's signed a tender to play next year at the University of Arkansas. The Indians will have to give a bonus offer that would entice him to bypass college.
