Tonight the Major League Draft will take place and several Florida Gators players and signees will hear their names called and have their dreams of playing professional baseball realized.
The Gators’ 2020 season was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic and that, unfortunately, means the last fans will get to see two pitchers in Orange and Blue. Both Tommy Mace and Jack Leftwich will be drafted in the five-round, truncated version of the 2020 MLB Draft and both should sign professional contracts. Additionally, Florida signee Zac Veen will likely be the first high school player selected on Wednesday and is expected to sign a professional contract.
