Will the draft ever end? We will find out today.

Check back periodically as the Rays make 30 more picks Wednesday to complete the 2019 MLB draft.

11-338. SS Ben Troike, Illinois

Troike batted .260/.348/.379 for the Illini. He missed the last month of the season after being hit by a pitch.

12-368. SS Nick Sogard, Loyola Marymount

Sogard stole 30 bases this season. As the cousin of the Face of the MLB, he should provide an attendance boost for Hudson Valley this summer.

13-398. OF Zach Huffins, Arizona Western College

Rays take a dynamic runner and athlete here in Zach Huffins. 80 runner who has made gigantic strides defensively and at the plate, upside is vast, still very raw overall. https://t.co/vDz4MKQkxG

If he doesn’t sign, he’ll play at Arizona State next spring.

14-428. OF Logan Allen, Arkansas Ft. Smith

He batted .362/.460/.565 this spring.

15-458. 2B Brett Wisely, Gulf Coast CC

The Rays drafted a two-way player, although he is only listed as a second baseman on the tracker. He led his team in innings and was second in at-bats.

16-488. LHP Joe Gobillot, Vanderbilt

Gobillot is a former teammate of Day 1 pick John Doxakis. In two seasons with Vanderbilt, he only has two innings pitched, perhaps due to an illness. He was ranked on Baseball America’s top draft prospects list in 2017 but was not drafted.

17-518. RHP Trevor Brigden, Okanagan College

He has a lot of hair, and his coach helped him get attention by posting video on Twitter.

18-548. LHP Joe LaSorsa, St. John’s

He was ranked as the No. 427 player in the class by Baseball America. He’s pitched in the rotation and out of the bullpen.

19-578. OF Christian Johnson, Clinton High School

Johnson reportedly has some speed.

20-608. SS Cam Shepherd, Georgia

BA ranked him No. 247 in the class but noted he had a rough season at the plate. He batted .231/.333/.386 this spring. His OPS has declined each season with the Bulldogs after he was named a freshman All-American in 2017.
