The Blue Jays picked St. Louis right-hander Dave Sever on Wednesday with the draft's 490th overall pick. The 6-foot-4-inch, 195-pound Benet graduate was chosen in the 21st round last year by the Dodgers, but he opted to return for his senior season and rose to the 16th round this time around.

Sever improved his stock by going 6-4 with a 3.60 ERA for the Billikens. He ends his St. Louis career as the program's all-time wins leader with 22.
