How Coastal Carolina got through the Major League Baseball Draft nearly unscathed

Coastal Carolina’s baseball team received a couple gifts for the 2019 season with junior slugger Zach Biermann going undrafted, and signed recruit Garrett McDaniels confirming he will attend CCU despite being selected Wednesday in the Major League Baseball Draft.

Biermann said Wednesday he plans to return to the team for his senior season, and McDaniels, a highly-regarded lefthanded pitcher from Pee Dee Academy in Mullins, told The Sun News in a Twitter message that he plans to attend CCU.

Biermann, a left-handed hitting first baseman and designated hitter, joined CCU from Polk State College in Florida this past season and had 64 hits in 58 games with 13 home runs, 14 doubles, a triple, 57 RBI and 57 runs scored.
