University at Buffalo infielder Mike Folli became the second Bull to be selected in MLB Draft since 2000 after the St. Louis Cardinals picked the infielder in the 42nd round of the Major League Baseball draft.
Folli made history at UB by becoming the first player to earn first-team All-MAC honors after finishing eighth in the league in batting with a team-high .346 batting average. He started 46 of 47 games for the Bulls, leading the team with 65 hits while tying for the team lead in doubles (13) and stolen bases (12).
His selection follows Joe Mihalics selection by the New York Mets in the 34th round of the 2005 draft. Folli will play for the Outer Banks Daredevils of the Coastal Plains League.
