With their sixth selection of the 2022 draft, the Tampa Bay Rays are looking to add to their depth behind the plate as they have selected C/1B Dominic Keegan out of Vanderbilt University.
The Rays were able to snag Keegan with the 134th overall selection of the draft. Keegan was ranked the 97th best draft prospect by MLB Pipeline and 213th by Baseball America. Injuries and the pandemic wreaked havoc on Keegan’s NCAA career, but he was still able to carve out some solid seasons and was even drafted by the New York Yankees in the 19th round of the 2021 draft.
