The national freshman of the year in 2019 when he hit 18 home runs, Sabato, 21, had seven homers in 19 games before the Tar Heels season ended. At 6-2 and 230 pounds, he's a prototype righthanded slugger. Could get a $2.57 million bonus.

second round (59th)

Alerick Soularie, OF, Tennessee

Hit a team-high .357 in 2019 as a sophomore when the Volunteers made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005. Had five homers in 16 games this season. The 20-year-old Houston native was a JUCO All-America at San Jacinto in 2018. Bonus projected at $1.18 million.

fourth round (128th)

Marco Raya, P, United South (Laredo, Texas)

The 6-1, 170-pound righthander won't turn 18 for two more months. A 94 mph fastball put him in draft position. He's committed to Texas Tech. The slot value is $433,000.

fifth round (158th)

Kala'i Rosario, OF, Waiakea (Hawaii) HS

Another power hitter was the Twins' final pick. The 6-1, 200-pound Rosario, 17, was Hawaii's player of the year. He is committed to California Baptist.
