Ashe Russell sure made a fashion statement with his outfit at the MLB Draft on Monday.
Russell, a 6-foot-4 pitcher from Cathedral (Indianapolis) High School, was selected No. 21 overall by the Kansas City Royals. He stood out among the crowd of prospects attending the draft because he was wearing a red shirt with a white pattern, white tie, and white collar.
Perhaps he was mistakenly told the Cincinnati Reds were going to take him at No. 11? Regardless, we give the Clay Buchholz lookalike some points for his bold move.
