Foothills' Gonzalez and Cienega's Jackson picked in MLB draft

Catalina Foothills outfielder/pitcher Luis Gonzalez and Cienega outfielder/pitcher Andre Jackson were two of Tucson’s leading high school baseball players from 2013-14. Gonzalez went to New Mexico, Jackson to Utah. Both were selected in the MLB draft last week. Gonzalez went No. 87 overall to the White Sox, a spot that pays a bonus of roughly $650,000, and Jackson, who missed the 2017 season at Utah after undergoing Tommy John arm surgery, was taken No. 370 overall by the Dodgers. Jackson could sign for about $100,000, although if the Dodgers like him enough they could offer a maximum of $389,000, which is subject to a fine by MLB.
