Sunday night, Major League Baseball began its 2021 Rule 4, or Amateur Draft. Only the First Round and Competitive Balance A picks were made Sunday night, a total of 36 players being selected. The draft resumed on Monday with Rounds 2-10 and then concluded on Tuesday with Rounds 11-20. While longer than last year's Covid-shortened five round draft, this year's draft is again shorter than the traditional 40 rounds.

On Monday, we put out a preview of Prep and College players from VA/DC high schools that we thought could be drafted. Here are the players who were selected this year:

Round	Name	High School	Draft Pos	Grad Year	College (Commitment)	MLB Team
2nd	Andrew Abbott	Halifax County	LHP	2017	Virginia	Reds
2nd	James Triantos	James Madison	3B	2021	North Carolina	Cubs
5th	Evan Justice	Collegiate School	LHP	2017	NC State	Rockies

10th	Wesley Clarke	Liberty Christian	C	2018	South Carolina	Brewers
10th	Hunter Perdue	Grassfield	RHP	2017	Florida State (via SC FL-Manatee)	Marlins

14th	Antonio Menendez	Herndon	RHP	2017	Wake Forest	Rays
16th	Anthony Simonelli	Millbrook	RHP	2017	Virginia Tech (via St. John's River)	Royals
18th	Will Wagner	Miller School	2B	2017	Liberty	Astros
18th	Adam Hackenburg	Miller School	C	2018	Clemson	White Sox
19th	Justice Bigbie	Grassfield	C	2017	Western Carolina	Tigers
19th	Thomas Francisco	Abingdon	1B	2018	East Carolina	Cardinals

 

While those were the players that were drafted, there will undoubtedly be a handful of other players who sign as free agents after the draft's conclusion, more so than in normal years after two straight shortened drafts. One example of this so far is Osbourn Park 2017 alum and Kyle Whitten (Virginia), who has signed with the Rays.
