On Monday night, Illinois closer Tyler Jay went No. 6 to the Minnesota Twins, the highest selection in Illini history.
Jay's selection gives the Big Ten back-to-back top 10 picks (Indiana's Kyle Schwarber went No. 4 in the 2014 draft) and a first-round pick in three of the last four drafts.
The draft concludes Wednesday.
