CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- AJ Wilson and Ryan Degges were both selected by the Philadelphia Phillies on day three of the 2024 MLB Draft on Tuesday afternoon (July 16).

Wilson was taken in the 12th round with the 372nd overall pick while Degges was selected five rounds later in the 17th round with the 522nd pick. It's the first time since 2017 that two Niners have been selected by the same team in one draft and the seventh total time it has happened in program history.

The two relievers make it four years in a row that the Charlotte 49ers baseball program has had a selection in the MLB Draft and brings the program record up to 68 total draft picks.
