No picks relevant to Clemson Baseball in Major League Baseball Draft on Sunday

The Major League Baseball Draft began on Sunday evening with the first two of twenty rounds.

No Clemson Baseball players or incoming prospects were selected on Sunday evening.

It wasn’t a surprise that there were no first-rounders, but there was a chance that Tristan Smith could have been a second-rounder.

Cleveland selected Travis Bazzana from Oregon State with the overall No. 1 pick, followed by Chase Burns from Wake Forest to Cincinnati.

Other notable names include Georgia’s Charlie Condon to Colorado at No. 3, Wake Forest’s Nick Kurtz to Oakland at No. 4, Florida’s Jac Caglianone to Kansas City at No. 6, and Wake Forest’s Seaver King to Washington at No. 10.

South Carolina commit PJ Morlando went No. 16 to the Marlins. Former Tiger Billy Amick went No. 60 to the Twins.

The draft continues today and tomorrow.
