MLB Mock Draft 2017: J.B. Bukauskas and Logan Warmoth slated to be first round picks

Posted May 20, 2017
Carolina's strong campaign has been largely helped by one of the best college pitchers in the country, J.B. Bukauskas. The right-hander is a little smaller than your average MLB pitcher, but he has the stuff to make it work at the next level. There is one other Tar Heel who seems like a good bet to hear his name on the first night of the draft, and that is shortstop Logan Warmoth. (Tar Heel Blog)
