The MLB Draft is nearly in the books. By the end, the Houston Astros will possibly add over 40 players with their 2017 class. These 40-plus draftees, of course, have social media accounts to capture the moment and spread their gratitude for the possibility of playing professional baseball. Let’s take a look:
J.B. Bukauskas

A dream come true, such an unreal feeling... Thank you @astros, this is a true blessing! #Houston

JJ had the best video of the night. There is nothing more personal moment than seeing family and friend surrounding a laptop attached to a TV with the draft feed on. The Arizona gear in the background is a nice touch.
