Virginia Baseball’s Zack Gelof has been selected in the 2nd round, 60th overall in the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft by the Oakland Athletics. He went just seven spots after teammate Andrew Abbott, who was picked at No. 53 by the Cincinnati Reds.
Oakland took shortstop Max Muncy — no, not Los Angeles Dodgers Max Muncy — with the No. 25 overall pick. The Athletics currently have 28-year-old Matt Chapman as their starting third baseman, with Jacob Wilson also listed in the position on their roster.
The pick comes with a slot value of 1.
