2018 MLB Draft: Controversial Oregon State lefty Luke Heimlich goes undrafted
Oregon State Left handed pitcher Luke Heimlich whom was considered a first round talent went undrafted all 40 rounds. Luke is a registered sex offender the case that he plead guilty to came when he was 15 years old where he inappropriately touched his 6 year old niece. He maintained his innocence he and his family made it clear that they didnt want to risk being found guilty and face a significant punishment such as jail, so he decided to quickly end the case and plead guilty. He received a slap on the wrist just some psychological classes and therapy I believe.
My question to you guys is that would you want your team to have drafted him or sign him now the draft is over. we are all sports fans and have seen our favorite teams in football, basketball, baseball etc draft or sign guys with questionable character such as DWIs, domestic violence, drugs, burglary/ theft, gang relations, miscellaneous arrests etc. What is everyones feelings on a convicted sex offender? From what I understand nothing else has happened since that happened nearly 7 years ago, he has good grades throughout college. Should he have an opportunity in baseball?
