Miami Hurricanes catcher Adrian Del Castillo dropped into Day 2 of the MLB draft, and then he had to wait a little longer to hear his name called on Monday afternoon.
Del Castillo, once a potential top-five pick, was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in Competitive Balance Round B between the second and third rounds, No. 67 overall.
The slot value for the signing bonus associated with the pick is $976,700. It’s the first pick where the slot value is below $1 million.
In the coming days, Del Castillo will either sign with the Diamondbacks or return to UM in an effort to improve his stock for the 2022 draft.
