Two Tar Heels projected in first round of 2025 MLB Draft


Two UNC baseball players are projected first-round 2025 MLB Draft picks, and a third is in the D1 Baseball top 100. A pair of Tar Heels coming off impressive freshman seasons but draft-eligible in 2025 are ranked highly — catcher at No. 11 and pitcher at No. 29 — with pitcher projected as the No. 94 pick.
