Three Jackets taken in MLB Draft

For the 41st consecutive year, Tech baseball had a player selected in the MLB Draft. Three total players were taken from the Tech team that made the NCAA regionals in 2021. This extended a streak to 21 years of multiple Jackets being selected in the draft.

A pair of Jackets will be staying close to Atlanta as the Braves took junior shortstop Luke Waddell in the fifth round with the 157th pick. Atlanta followed that selection up in the sixth round by taking sophomore Justyn Henry-Malloy with the 187th overall pick. Junior left-handed pitcher Brant Hurter was selected by the Detroit Tigers eight picks later at 195th overall.
