MLB DRAFT TRACKER: Wolfpack Players And Signees
The 2021 MLB Draft is ongoing and you can follow where all of NC State's players/signees are selected through the Inside Pack Sports Draft Tracker.
NC State is expected to have multiple players drafted in the three-day draft, which began on Sunday and will be televised on ESPN and the MLB network.
The first Wolfpack player selected was 2021 signee Kahlil Watson out of Wake Forest, North Carolina. A dynamic shortstop prospect, Watson is the first North Carolina prep standout to be selected in the first round since another NC State signee, Wilmington (NC) New Hanover pitcher Blake Walston, was taken No. 26 by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019.
As expected, look for Watson to ink professionally and not play for NC State given his lofty draft projection.
Day 2 of the Draft begins Monday at 1 p.m. ET with the start of the second round and will continue through the completion of Round 10. The Draft concludes with rounds 11-20 on Tuesday, starting at noon ET.
