UNC could rule next MLB draft, too

Posted Jul 7, 2008

There could be a strong UNC flavor in the first round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft. In addition to first baseman Dustin Ackley, fellow rising junior Alex White also is seen as a possible first-rounder. "Obviously, they have to play well next season and continue to show the same general potential to the pro scouts," said Carolina coach Mike Fox.
