Vanderbilt baseball signee Druw Jones was drafted second overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2022 MLB Draft on Sunday night.
Jones, the son of former Atlanta Braves star Andruw Jones, was considered a top-five prospect in the draft and unlikely to play for the Commodores.
The 2022 Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year, Jones had a 1.702 OPS with 13 homers, 32 steals and just nine strikeouts in his senior season. He also went 10-1 as a pitcher, though his future is almost certainly as a center fielder.
