Duke in the Draft:
Heading into the 2023 MLB Draft, Duke boasts 92 selections in the history of the event. Last season, the Blue Devils' five draft picks were tied for the third highest total in a single year in program history, trailing the 2018 and 2009 seasons as each year had seven. In addition, five Blue Devils in the first 20 rounds of the MLB draft matched the most in school history.
Thirty-seven of Duke's draft selections have come under head coach Chris Pollard and at least one Blue Devil has been drafted in the first five rounds in eight of the last nine MLB Drafts. Under coach Pollard, Duke has tallied eight years with at least three or more picks in a draft and five years with five or more players selected.

MLB.com listed one Blue Devil in the top 250 prospects heading into the 2023 Draft with INF Alex Mooney checking in at No. 114. Mooney is a draft eligible sophomore based on age.
