Handful of Sun Devils selected in the second day of MLB Draft

In the 2025 draft, Arizona State was expected to add to its lead of 477 all-time draft picks over schools like Texas and Arizona. The expectations were met, as nine Sun Devils were selected. Outfielder Brandon Compton and left-handed pitcher Ben Jacobs became the 478th and 479th selections from the university, and were selected on day one of the draft. Day two’s action saw the final 17 rounds and nine players who played at or announced plans to play at Arizona State.

In fall ball, the pitcher that impressed me most was right-hander Lucas Kelly.
