7/14/2024 10:27:00 PM | Baseball
ARLINGTON, Texas – Duke left-hander Jonathan Santucci was selected on Sunday as the MLB First-year Player Draft began in Arlington. Santucci becomes the first Blue Devil selected on day one of the MLB Draft since Bryce Jarvis was taken in the first round by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2020.
Santucci, a left-handed pitcher from Leominster, Mass., was drafted in the second round with the No. 46 overall pick by the New York Mets. With the selection on Monday, Duke's total of selections in the MLB Draft moves to 97 all-time and 42 under head coach Chris Pollard.
Jonathan Santucci – New York Mets – Round: 2; Pick: 46
Duke's Friday night ace for the previous two seasons, Santucci overcame multiple injuries throughout his sophomore and junior campaigns. The Leominster, Mass., native was stellar in 2024, earning a nod on the All-ACC First Team and finding himself of the midseason Golden Spikes Watch List. Santucci started all 13 games he appeared in last season, tallying a 6-1 record on the mound with a 3.31 ERA. He worked a career-high 58 innings and struck out 90 batters, while holding opponents to a .188 batting average against. In just his second and third starts of the season, Santucci produced back-to-back outings of 10-plus strikeouts, including a career-high 14-strikeout performance against Akron (3/1). The lefty also toted a six-inning performance, a new career high for innings worked, against Florida State in April. In his career, Santucci has posted a 10-6 record on the bump, holding a 3.86 ERA in 27 starts. He has recorded 128.1 innings of work, striking out 198 and holding opponents to a .208 average against in a Blue Devils uniform.
