2011 Where are they now 2009 MLB draft picks 11 to 20

It is year end and I'm checking how picks 11 to 20 of the 2009 draft did this season. Traditionally players drafted out of college advance faster than those drafted out of high school and pitchers usually advance faster than position players. Some players might also be traded to help their team get an established player that can help their team improve immediately.


The Colorado Rockies drafted LHP Tyler Matzek 11th out of Capistrano Valley High School in California. He split the 2011 season between Class A and Class A Advanced. He was 5-4 with a 4.36 ERA, 74 strikeouts and 1.48 WHIP in 64 innings over 12 games at Class A and was 0-3 with a 9.82 ERA, 37 strikeouts and 2.42 WHIP in 33 innings over 10 games at Class A Advanced.


The Kansas City Royals drafted RHP Aaron Crow 12th out of University of Missouri via the Fort Worth Cats. He pitched the 2011 season with the Royals. He was 4-4 with a 2.76 ERA, 65 strikeouts and 1.39 WHIP in 62 innings over 57 games.


The Oakland Athletics drafted shortstop Grant Green 13th out of University of South California. He played the 2011 season at Double A. He hit .291/.343/.408 with nine home runs, 62 RBI, 76 runs and 6 steals in 127 games.
