3 PL players drafted this week, all pitchers Mason Black of Lehigh in 3rd round Matt Svenson of Lehigh in 13th round Matt Connolly of Navy in the 20th round The draft used to be something like 40 rounds but MLB reduced it to 20 rounds now (logical, IMO) - similar to other sports those undrafted can try and catch on as free agents

The later rounds of MLB draft are mainly to fill out rosters in the minor leagues. Since the number of MiLB levels has been streamlined, makes sense tbat draft has been streamlined as well.
