Four current University of Iowa baseball and two Hawkeye recruits were selected in the 2015 Major League Baseball draft Wednesday. Senior Nick Hibbing was taken in the 16th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates, senior Eric Toole was selected in the 22nd round by the Colorado Rockies, and senior Kris Goodman was taken in the 32nd round by the Miami Marlins. Junior Tyler Peyton was selected in the 33rd round by the Cincinnati Reds.
Hawkeye recruits Daniel Perry from Susanville California was taken in the 13th round by the Toronto Blue Jays and Chris Comito Junior of Norwalk was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 15th round. Comito says he will sign with the White Sox. Peyton has announced he will return for his senior season, while Perry will have the choice to sign a professional contract with the Blue Jays or bypass the draft and join the Hawkeyes as a freshman for the 2016 season.
