After going uncalled on Sunday night in the first round of the MLB Draft, Miami Catcher, Adrian Del Castillo, was selected 67th overall (Competitive Balance Round B) by the Arizona Diamondbacks, and was the first Hurricane to be drafted this week. This is the second year in a row that the D’Backs drafted the first Cane after picking Pitcher Slade Cecconi 33rd overall last year.
Del Castillo was considered a top tier talent at a premium position by many pundits, at times considered one of the most polished college bats/catchers in the NCAA.
