Duke junior pitcher Michael Matuella was the highest Blue Devil drafted at #78 by the Texas Rangers. The preseason All-American pitcher was projected to be a top MLB pick at the beginning of the season, but dropped after an injury caused him to miss most of the college season and was finally selected in the 3rd round.
