The baseball drafted ended yesterday, nearly two days after everyone was paying attention.
For those interested in an abbreviated version of how many Mid-Atlantic college products wound up selected look no further. Actually, there's no promises every last D.C. selection is accounted for, seeing as how the MLB draft tracker didn't include that as part of its filter option.
Nonetheless, a little ingenuity helped fill the list out. Each line includes pick number, position, name, selection team and, in parentheses, the most notable player or three to be picked that spot since the June draft began in 1965 (DNS denotes did not sign).
