Toronto Blue Jays' draft pick could become first player of Indian descent in MLB Toronto TorontoBlueJays BlueJays MLB
When the Toronto Blue Jays made their first selection at this year's MLB Draft on Sunday, he already emerged as a potential history-making candidate.
But much of the buzz around the pick also stems from his upbringing: Nimmala's parents emigrated to the United States from the Andhra Pradesh province in India, making him the highest-drafted first-generation Indian American in MLB history.
