Angel Zarate finally heard his name called in the MLB Draft, after being a pretty surprising snub from last year’s event after a season where he led the team in batting average.Palermo has not yet signed with the Rockies, and has until August 1st to decide if he will or not - he does have the option to come back to Chapel Hill for a super-senior year, where he could try and further impress as a college starter rather than a reliever. You don’t see players as old as Palermo, especially relievers and closers, taken in the first 10 rounds that often, but Palermo’s lack of wear and a fastball that generates a ton of whiffs and has been reported to top out at 99 MPH (97 is the fastest we’ve seen him in live action, I think) make him a pretty enticing prospect.

Davis Palermo, who closed several games for the Heels with his serious heat from the mound, soon followed, being taken by the Colorado Rockies in the 8th round with the 236th overall pick.Serretti had spoken about coming back to UNC with Angel Zarate for a chance at improving their games before heading to the next level, so it seemed pretty certain the four-year starter was gone, and that was confirmed on Friday - Serretti has signed with the Tigers and will receive a bonus worth over $290,000, equal to the prescribed amount for the position he was drafted in. His ability to switch-hit undoubtedly makes him attractive, and everybody who’s written anything about him can’t help but talk about his leadership and old-school, tough-as-nails approach to the game. UNC’s stalwart shortstop was announced as an infielder, suggesting there’s some uncertainty about what position he’ll play, but his defining attribute is definitely his bat, which picked up tremendously this season and led the Heels in hits, batting average, and on-base percentage. Danny Serretti was the first Heel off the board, going to the Detroit Tigers in the sixth round with the 177th overall pick.Here’s who they were and where they went: UNC’s had at least one player selected in the MLB Draft every year since 2004, and that continued this year with five selections from the 2022 squad, which was the Heels’ most since 2019.

Nevertheless, it’s still the place where young baseball players’ dreams of becoming pro ballplayers are realized, and that in and of itself is massive. Maybe it’s just because I’m not nearly as big a fan of the MLB as I am of the other two leagues, or maybe it’s got something to do with the facts that: a) drafted players are going to take some time to actually make it to the big leagues, which makes their promise a little less exciting b) the draft is at the midpoint of the season during an All-Star Weekend people actually like, so there are bigger things going on c) players can and often do get drafted more than once, so there isn’t really a sense of finality to it.

The MLB Draft seems to be much less of an event than its NFL and NBA counterparts.
