UNC Baseball Receives Commitments From Six of Top 127 College-Bound High Schoolers

With a draft that lasts for 40 rounds and numerous minor league franchises, it’s common for the MLB to have hundreds of high school baseball players who decide to bypass college and go straight into their professional careers.

Following this year’s draft, only 127 of Baseball America’s top 500 high school prospects chose to attend school–where they will be forced to spend at least three years before their next shot at the pros.

Of that group of 127, UNC will have six of them arriving in Chapel Hill next season. Only Mississippi, with seven, had more commitments.

It’s unclear how much the young players–five of whom are right-handed pitchers–will fit in with the current roster.

[Lurking Heel]

Of the rankings I have seen, Baseball America has our incoming players ranked lower than most others. For example, Perfect Game has the 2016 high school seniors coming to UNC ranked as follows:

Bergner----38
Baum-------53
Peto---------89
Weiss-------98
Dalatri-----104
Martorano133

Of course, it is all somewhat a guessing game at this point, but it appears we have plenty of pitching depth and talent coming in.
