Trinity Prep graduate and University of Miami pitcher Slade Cecconi is among 23 pro baseball prospects invited to remotely take part in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft broadcast on Wednesday night.
Cecconi, a draft-eligible sophomore, is one of several players from the Orlando area projected to be selected in the abbreviated draft, which was trimmed from 40 rounds to five rounds due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The first round gets underway at 7 p.m. on MLB Network and ESPN, with video appearances by Cecconi and other top prospects. Rounds two through five will be held Thursday beginning at 5 p.
