WALTER'S DRAFT PEDIGREE
Since being named head coach prior to the 2010 season, Coach Tom Walter has helped 36 players get drafted or sign professional contracts over the last seven years, including five Deacs drafted among the top 50 picks since 2016.
Currently, Gavin Sheets (White Sox) and Stuart Fairchild (Diamondbacks) are playing in the Majors for the first time in their big-league careers. Will Craig was called up to the Pirates earlier this season and hit his first career MLB home run on the same day he was recalled.

Bobby Seymour and Ryan Cusick were both invited to the inaugural MLB Draft Combine last month at the USA Baseball National Training Complex and Raleigh Convention Center.
For the first time ever, draft prospects had the opportunity to participate in on-field showcase workouts as well as strength and conditioning assessments in front of various MLB general managers, scouting directors and club personnel. In addition to on-field work, draft prospects met with front office staff and scouts, took part in medical testing and attended educational courses in preparation of the transition to professional baseball.
Seymour represented Wake Forest baseball during the first day or workouts as he hit and did defensive drills.
Although Cusick did not participate in any drills on the diamond, the right hander met with multiple Major League front offices and took part in the medical exams.
