Rock, who used his last season of college eligibility this past season, is undoubtedly moving on to the pros, but things are not so certain for Dallas. As a junior, he has the ability to stay in college one more season if he so chooses. Picks in the 8th round usually receive bonuses in the low six figures, so coming back would definitely come at a cost, even if it could pay off in the long run.
The MLB Draft continues with round 11-20 on Tuesday, July 19.
