Tar Heels in the MLB Draft
Posted Jun 9, 2014
The Major League Baseball Draft was held at the end of last week with multiple Tar Heels getting calls from teams including several recruits. First up, here are the current Tar Heels who were drafted. Michael Russell will certainly be moving on to the professional baseball ranks. Now it would appear that Benton Moss is also done at UNC. That leaves a question of whether Landon Lassiter or Luis Paula will also leave.
