Three Maryland baseball players were selected in the 2016 MLB Draft: Mike Shawaryn (5th round, by the Red Sox), Mike Rescigno (25th, Giants), and Robert Galligan (36th, Diamondbacks). Also selected was Maryland recruit Tyler Blohm (17th, Baltimore Orioles). Galligan, who was a senior and thus had little room to negotiate (see below) signed quickly and is now pitching for the Missoula Ospreys in the Pioneer Rookie League. But the road for the other three players had Maryland baseball fans waiting until literally minutes before the July 15 signing deadline.
