J.B. Bukauskas asked all 30 major league teams not to draft him
Posted Apr 23, 2015
J.B. Bukauskas should have never come to UNC. He should be in the farm system of some major league club. He should be a rookie after being taken in the first two rounds of the 2014 MLB Draft. He should have put his name on a signing bonus check with six, maybe seven, digits. But he didn’t. While most kids look forward to their senior year in high school, J.B. Bukauskas skipped it to come to UNC early.
