The MLB draft starts tonight at 7pm. Where will South Carolina baseball players and recruits land?

There hasn’t been a professional game played this year but the Major League Baseball draft will air tonight at 7 pm. The draft has been cut from 40 rounds to just five amid the Coronavirus pandemic, which will have a huge effect on both college players making decisions to return to school, and recruits choosing whether they should sign with a university or test the professional waters.

This year, a total of only 160 players will be selected.
