Another Tar Heel has been drafted by an MLB organization. In Atlanta as part of the 2025 All-Star Week, the 2025 MLB Draft is happening near the new ballpark, and one of the names called was UNC catcher Luke Stevenson, by the Seattle Mariners. He was the 35th overall pick and is the 26th first-rounder in UNC Baseball history.

Stevenson came to UNC as a highly-rated ballplayer coming out of high school, and ultimately came to Carolina. This season he only hit .251, but lead the team in homers with 19, and was the MVP of the ACC Championship with two homers in the tournament that helped propel the Tar Heels to the title.
