The Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft was July 9th-11th, and nine MAC players were selected over the three days. To be draft-eligible, players must have completed their junior season or be 21 years old, whichever happens first.
Players can also be drafted after they graduate from high school before enrolling in college. Unsigned high school players can be redrafted after going to college for three seasons, and unsigned college juniors can be redrafted the next season.
Drafting prospects is always risky in baseball, far more than the other major sports. Every player is at least one season from big league playing time.
