2013 Where are they now 2011 MLB draft top 10

The 2013 season is behind us and I'm checking how the top 10 players of the 2011 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 first player drafted in 2011 was RHP Gerrit Cole by the Pittsburgh Pirates out of UCLA. He split 2013 between Triple A Indianapolis and the Pirates. He was 5-3, 2.91 ERA, 47 K, 1.06 WHIP in 68.0 IP over 12 games at Indianapolis and was 10-7, 3.22 ERA, 100 K, 1.17 WHIP in 117.1 IP over 19 games with the Pirates.

The Seattle Mariners drafted LHP Danny Hultzen second out of Virginia. He split 2013 between Rookie Arizona and Triple A Tacoma while missing much of the season with a shoulder injury.

The Arizona Diamondbacks drafted RHP Trevor Bauer third out of UCLA. He was traded to the Indians in 2012. He split 2013 between Triple A Columbus and the Indians.
