After falling out of the first round of the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft on Wednesday, junior Chris McMahon heard his name called early into Thursday’s second round and was picked No. 46 overall by the Colorado Rockies.
McMahon joined fellow right-hander Slade Cecconi as the only other Hurricane drafted at that point. The two pitchers had been ranked as the No. 29 and No. 31 overall prospects in 2020 by MLB Pipeline. McMahon was also named a second team All-American this spring alongside teammate Brian Van Belle by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and also made the Golden Spikes Award Watchlist.
