Eighty-eight WCL alums and current players were selected in the 2016 MLB June draft held June 9-11.

Former Corvallis Knights catcher Logan Ice was the first West Coast League alum to be picked as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 2nd round. Ice played for Corvallis in 2014 and earned all-WCL honorable mention honors. Shortly after Ice was picked, Cal catcher Brett Cumberland was selected in the 2nd round by the Atlanta Braves with the 76th overall pick. Cumberland played briefly in the WCL with the Klamath Falls Gems, as the switch-hitting backstop appeared in 6 games and hit .261 with three doubles over 23 at bats in 2014.

The next WCL pick was pitcher Curtis Taylor of University of British Columbia. He was selected in the fourth round by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Taylor led the Kelowna Falcons last summer to the WCL finals as the right-hander went 3-3 with a 3.37 ERA and registered two saves.

20 WCLers were picked in the first ten rounds of the draft including 2014 WCL MVP and UC Riverside slugger Vince Fernandez of the Yakima Valley Pippins who was selected in the 10th round by Colorado.

Four WCL clubs had 10 or more alums/current players selected with the Wenatchee AppleSox leading the way with 18 followed by Cowlitz with 14, Bellingham with 13 and Corvallis with 11.

Three alums who were drafted will appear in the College World Series as their schools punched their tickets to Omaha this weekend as first baseman Ryan Aguilar (Cowlitz), pitcher Shane Bieber (Cowlitz) and second baseman J.R. Davis (Yakima Valley) led Arizona, UC Santa Barbara and Oklahoma State, respectively, to Super Regional sweeps. The Wildcats, Gauchos and Cowboys beat hosts Mississippi State, Louisville and South Carolina, respectively.
