Here’s a great interview that  mentions (in passing) Schroeder’s connection with the Cardinals’ scouting.

Schroeder, who remains unsigned, had a scholarship and commitment to the University of Kentucky.

After day 2 of the draft, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a piece indicating that Tate was likely headed to college at Missouri State.

In a bit of a surprise, the Cardinals drafted him in the first half of day 3.

Batting Practice from Andy Benes

As of a week ago, Tate seemed certain that he’d be heading to Missouri State.

Round 25, Pick 780: Mariano Llorens, RHP
Miami Dade Community College South, Florida
Height: 5′ 10″
Weight: 170 lbs
DOB: 11/18/1992
Bats: R
Throws: R

Baseball America:

Miami-Dade had bigger pitchers with past expectations, such as former Top 200 talent Michael Heller (a Florida transfer) and righty Tyler Bodwitch, but the 5-foot-9 Llorens teamed with Myles Smith to give the Sharks a solid one-two rotation punch. A South Carolina recruit, Llorens lacks size but battles hitters with a low-90s fastball and good, hard slider. Both rate as 50 pitches on the 20-80 scale thanks to his control and bulldog approach. He’ll be a contributor for the Gamecocks unless a team takes him fairly early this spring.
