The Cardinals selected University of Hawaii second baseman Kolten Wong with their first pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. Wong is the third college infielder selected by the Cardinals in the first round in the past four years. Kolten is known as one of the best pure hitters in the draft. Wong is also compared to Fernando Vina when it comes to the style of play he exhibits.
In 57 games, Wong batted .378 with a .492 on-base percentage and a .560 slugging percentage. He scored 48 runs, drove in 53 and stole 23 bases in 30 tries. He's considered a polished hitter with a chance to move quickly through the Cardinals' system.
I consider this a great pick. Kolten is not a home run hitter but can drive in a lot of runs with doubles and singles. I give this pick an A. Next pick for the Cards are round 2 pick 79.
