Several Pitt baseball players selected on final day of 2018 MLB Draft
Pitt had two players selected in the MLB Draft on Wednesday and on Thursday, they added three more late in the day.
First, pitcher Derek West was taken by the Atlanta Braves in Round 28. Next, star infielder Liam Sabino was taken in the 35th Round by the St. Louis Cardinals. And in the 36th Round, pitchers Yaya Chentouf was selected by the Detroit Tigers.
Pitt also had a pair of incoming commits taken as Mason Ronan was selected in the 29th Round by the Boston Red Sox and Billy Corcoran went to the Texas Rangers in the 36th.
In all, the Panthers had five players selected, which ties them for the second most the program has ever had, tying that number in 2016.
