The MLB All-Star Break is set to start at the end of this weekend and it’s all kicked off with the MLB Draft on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET. The Terps will have plenty of representation in this year’s draft, including one of the most talented prospects to come out of the program, Matt Shaw.

It was a historic season in College Park as the 2023 Terps set the records for most runs and hits in school history on their way to becoming Big Ten Champions. The explosive offense caught the attention of major league scouts as some Maryland hitters will have their MLB dreams come true this week.

Here are some of the hitters that will look to hear their names called in this year’s draft.

Matt Shaw – Infield

Shaw followed up his 2022 Cape Cod League MVP with a season that solidified himself as one of the best college baseball players in the country. In his junior year, he hit 24 home runs with 69 RBIs and a .341 batting average. This would earn him some major accolades, including Big Ten Player of the Year and All-Big Ten First Team. On top of this, Shaw gave us one of the most memorable moments of the season when he broke the all-time Maryland home run record.

Shaw has proven himself as a great all-around player and MLB teams have taken notice. He is currently ranked #16 in MLB.com’s Draft Prospect Rankings so expect to hear his name called in the first round.

Luke Shliger – Catcher

The main aspect that stands out about Shliger is his ability to get on base. He was the perfect leadoff hitter for the Terps as he led the team in walks with 69 and on-base percentage with .523. Shliger had an outstanding on-base streak this season that lasted 61 games and earned All-Big Ten First Team honors. He would finish his junior season with a .336 average, 11 home runs, and 52 RBIs.

Shliger sits at #170 on MLB.com’s Draft Prospect Rankings. While this may not sound high, catcher is a thin position in this year’s draft which could improve his draft position.

Nick Lorusso – Infield

Nick Lorusso MASHED in his senior season, leading the team in average (.379), hits (100), home runs (26), RBIs (105), and OPS (1.211). Not only did he lead the team in hits, homers, and RBIs but he set the single-season program record for each. His 26 home runs broke the record set by Chris Alleyne last season.

While Lorusso may not be as high on draft boards as his Maryland teammates, he will be given an opportunity. With the great bat he brings, it would be a mistake for teams to overlook the 22-year-old.
