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.

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.
