Two Auburn baseball signees taken early in MLB Draft
Two Auburn baseball signees will not be headed to Auburn. They instead have been drafted early on in the 2023 MLB Draft.
With Auburn baseball having some success by making the playoffs two years in a row, the recruiting has followed. Fortunately and unfortunately, the Tigers have scouted and recruited well enough for their signees to be taken by the MLB before ever making it to Auburn.
