BERKELEY  - Day two of the 2016 Major League Baseball Draft saw three Cal players selected as pitcher Alex Schick was taken in the sixth round by Minnesota, center fielder Aaron Knapp went in the eighth round to Miami and infielder Mitchell Kranson was also taken by the Twins in the ninth round.

Friday's picks, together with Thursday's selections of pitcher Daulton Jefferies and catcher Brett Cumberland, brings Cal's draft total to five players with one more day remaining. The Bears rank first among Pac-12 schools when it comes to players drafted so far this year.

Standing at 6-foot-7, Schick, a native of San Diego, was an intriguing prospect for MLB teams. He was expected to be the Bears' closer in 2016 but saw limited playing time after suffering a knee injury in January. Making only five appearances out of the bullpen and two starts this year, Schick didn't make his season debut until April 23rd. In that game, he came out of the bullpen in the 13th inning in a home game versus Arizona.

As the season progressed he became stronger on the mound. In his final appearance of the season, Schick went 4.0 innings out of the bullpen and allowed no batters to reach base as the Bears won 7-0 at Washington State on May 28. He finished the 2016 season with a 2.03 ERA, nine strikeouts and a 1-0 record in 13.1 innings pitched. In his three seasons combined at Cal, Schick has a 6-3 record and pitched 66.2 innings with 65 strikeouts.

When he heard his name called with the 233rd overall selection, Knapp became the 82nd Bear to be drafted under Cal head coach David Esquer and sixth to be taken by the Marlins. The Granite Bay, Calif. native had a breakout 2015 sophomore season when he hit .310 with 12 stolen bases. His speed carried over to 2016, and Knapp had seven triples in 2016 — tied for second most triples in a single season in program history. He currently stands tied for No. 3 in program history for career triples with 12. Former Cal catcher and Knapp's older brother, Andrew, was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the second round in 2013.

Kranson joined Schick as a Twins draftee when he was picked No. 273 overall. The Bears' utility senior played a majority of his first three seasons at Cal as a catcher but as a senior moved to third base and then left field. A consistent bat kept Kranson in the lineup and his 41 career doubles rank near the top in program history.

His performance in 2015 at the College Station Regional made him a fixture on the Bears' team. He went 8-for-18 with five RBI and two home runs, including a walk-off home run. In 2016, he started all 52 games for the Bears and finished with a .333 batting average and hit 15 doubles and 36 RBI.

Minnesota has now drafted five Bears since 2014. Schick and Kranson join former Cal slugger Chris Paul, pitcher Trevor Hilldenberger and infielder Michael Theofanopoulos in the Twins organization. Paul, like Schick, was also a sixth round pick.

The 2016 draft marks the first time since 2010 that at least five Bears have been selected — seven were taken in 2010. The most Cal players taken in a single draft since 2000 when Esquer took over the program was in 2004 and 2006 when eight were taken.

The draft will conclude Saturday with rounds 11 through 40. Live coverage of the final day of the draft is available at MLB.com and CalBears.com will also recap the final day's selections.
