The second Tiger star was selected six picks later.

LSU junior outfielder Daniel Cabrera was drafted by the Detroit Tigers with the No. 62 overall pick. Like Henry, this is the second time the LSU slugger has been selected in the draft. As a high school senior back in 2017, the Baton Rouge product was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 26th round.

Cabrera played in 59 games for the Tigers in 2019, batting .284 with 12 doubles, two triples, 12 homers, 50 RBIs and 40 runs.

Cabrera batted .315 as a Freshman All-American in 2018 with 18 doubles, two triples, eight homers and 54 RBIs. He earned Freshman All-SEC honors, and he finished seventh in the league in doubles and eighth in RBIs.

Tulane’s Hudson Haskin was also drafted in the second round. The Baltimore Orioles selected the Green Wave outfielder with the 39th overall pick, making him the highest-drafted outfielder in program history.

Haskin was named a Preseason All-America Second Team selection by Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game/Rawlings, D1baseball and the NCBWA, respectively. He was also named to the 2020 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award Preseason Watch List. In 17 games this past season, Haskin batted .333 with 22 hits, including a team-leading six doubles.

Hayden Cantrelle, a former all-state star at Teurlings Catholic High, was selected in the fifth round of the draft on Thursday night.

The Milwaukee Brewers drafted the UL Lafayette star with the No. 151 overall pick. Cantrelle had been previously drafted in the 40th round of the 2017 MLB Draft by the New York Yankees.

University of New Orleans senior pitcher Eric Orze was selected one pick before Cantrelle. Orze, who struck out 29 batters in only 19 innings pitched this season, was selected by the New York Mets with the 150th overall pick.

Northwestern State left-handed pitcher Logan Hofmann was taken in the fifth round with the 138th pick overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Atlanta Braves took southpaw Wake Forest pitcher Jared Shuster in the first round (25th overall), then added Michigan outfielder Jess Franklin V with the 97th pick overall in the third round and Clemson right-handed pitcher Spencer Strider in round 4 with the 126th pick overall. The Braves wrapped up their draft with Texas righty Bryce Elder in the fifth round with the 156th overall pick.

The Houston Astros, who were stripped of first- and second-round picks following MLB’s investigation into their sign-stealing schemes during their 2017 World Series-winning season, chose Bronx, New York, high school pitcher Alex Santos II of Mount St. Michael Academy with a compensatory pick in the second round, given the team after losing pitcher Gerrit Cole to the Yankees in the offseason.
