Fineas Del-Bonta Smith was selected in the 22ndround by the Colorado Rockies after spending the last two season as San Jose State's closer. He had a similar role at Delta in 2017.
Nick Avila was picked in the 26th round by the San Francisco Giants. Avila moved into a role in the starting rotation at Long Beach State making seven starts in Big West play and posting a 3.19 ERA over those starts. Nick was the #1 starter on Delta's 2018 State Championship team.
Zack Mathis was picked in the 38thround by the Minnesota Twins. The All American shortstop at Delta this year will most likely forego professional baseball this year to attend LSU or Texas Tech.
