For the first time since 2008, the Miami baseball team saw three of its star players taken within the top 60 picks of the MLB Draft. Which other Canes may decide to turn pro?
Miami baseball Sunday starter Slade Cecconi was first off the board first on Day one with the 33rd pick to the Diamondbacks. The pick was in the Competitive Balance Round of the first round. The righty racked up 119 strikeouts across just 100 innings with the team.
The draft-eligible sophomore was the first Cane taken in the first round since former Miami baseball star catcher Zack Collins went 10th overall to the White Sox in the 2016 MLB Draft.
