Arizona pitchers Casey Hintz, Raul Garayzar and Michael Hilker Jr. were late selections in the 2025 Major League Baseball Draft on Monday. Hintz was the 482nd overall selection by Seattle in the 16th round, Garayzar was the 543rd overall pick by Arizona in the 18th round and Hilker Jr. by Minnesota in the 20th round.
Hilker Jr. was the ninth Arizona player chosen in the 2025 MLB Draft and the fourth pitcher after Julian Tonghini, Hunter Alberini, Hintz and Garayzar were chosen earlier on Monday. The nine players drafted from Arizona are the most since 2008, when 11 Wildcats were chosen in a 22-round draft.
