A couple of weeks back Pitt's baseball team had five players selected in the MLB Draft. All five have reportedly come to terms with their respective teams and are beginning their pro careers.
Pitcher T.J. Zeuch, Pitt's most coveted prospect, went in the first round and signed with the Toronto Blue Jays in relatively short order for a bonus of a little over $2 million. Both Charles Leblanc and Alex Kowalczyk were taken by the Texas Rangers. Leblanc had the opportunity to return to Pitt since he was only a sophomore, but he, too, signed pretty quickly.
