Daniel Pierce, an 18-year-old shortstop from the Atlanta metro area, became the Rays’ highest draft pick since 2017. “It’s exactly what I wanted,” Pierce said on a conference call.

Mitch Voit is the Michigan baseball program’s highest MLB draft pick since 2000. The second baseman was selected in the first round at No. 38 overall by the New York Mets on Sunday night, becoming the first Wolverines player selected in the first round since David Parish 25 years ago.
