The Major League Baseball draft wrapped up last night. How will the South Carolina baseball team be affected?

Major League Baseball wrapped up a shortened, five round draft late Wednesday night. Of the 160 total picks, only two had ties to the South Carolina baseball program. That’s good news for head coach Mark Kingston and for the outlook of the 2021 season.

THE PICKS

One Gamecock, right-handed pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski, was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the 31st overall pick.
