Despite not having a player selected in the very abbreviated 2020 MLB Draft back on June 10 and 11, the IU baseball program will lose at least one player to the professional ranks this offseason.
On Wednesday, IU junior Elijah Dunham announced that he has signed with the New York Yankees as an undrafted free agent. Typically, players in Dunham’s position head back to school if they don’t get drafted, as he still had eligibility remaining. But with this year’s draft being shortened to five rounds instead of the usual 40, there are many players who would’ve been drafted any other year opting to turn pro as free agents.
