Despite the fact that the 2020 MLB draft was shortened from 40 rounds to five rounds for the first time in its history, two San Diego State baseball players heard their names called.
Junior baseman Casey Schmitt and junior shortstop Anthony Walters were selected on the second day of the draft.
Schmitt was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 2nd round as the 39th player off the board.
The selection is the earliest an SDSU player has been chosen since 2019 World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg was the first overall selection by the Washington Nationals in the 2009 draft.
