MLB draft lays claim to future and present Tar Heels

Posted Jun 13, 2012
The North Carolina baseball team’s top recruit, a 6-foot-7-inch, left-handed pitcher from Ohio, won’t be a Tar Heel next year. Matt Smoral, from Solon High School which is southeast of Cleveland, was selected 50th overall by Toronto in the Major League Baseball Draft, which took place June 4 through June 6. All signs point to Smoral signing with the Blue Jays. (Daily Tar Heel)
