Which MLB team drafted 2026 deadline arm Luke Weaver 27th overall in 2014?

The St. Louis Cardinals drafted Luke Weaver 27th overall in the 2014 MLB draft.

Weaver was selected in the first round out of Florida State University. The Cardinals made him their first selection that year, taking the right-handed pitcher with the 27th pick after he had established himself as one of the more promising college arms in the draft class.

He advanced through St. Louis’s farm system and made his major-league debut with the Cardinals in 2016. Weaver’s career later took him through several organizations, including the Arizona Diamondbacks, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds and Seattle Mariners, but St. Louis was the club that originally drafted and developed him.

The draft detail can be confused with the team for which Weaver happened to be playing when a later trade or deadline story was published. “Drafted by” refers to the organization that selected him, not necessarily his current or most recent team.
