Meanwhile, Cajuns' LHP Gunner Leger has announced he will return for his senior season. Leger tweeted opportunities in rounds 7-9 were not enough to forego a final season with Cajun nation. Despite the statement, Miami drafted him in the 26th round. Leger later reiterated he'd be returning for his final season.
Shortstop Hayden Cantrelle was drafted in the 40th and final round by the New York Yankees. Cantrelle fell because of signability issues and is expected to attend school.
