Oklahoma had 11 players selected in the 2015 Major League Baseball draft this week, the most of any school.

UC Santa Barbara was second with 10 players selected from Monday to Wednesday.

Arizona State, Florida, Illinois and Vanderbilt each had nine players drafted.

Nine schools produced eight players each, including LSU, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Houston, Maryland, UCLA, USC and North Carolina.

The first round of Major League Baseball's First-Year Player Draft was dominated by shortstops, who went 1-2-3, but overall position players were a hot commodity.

Twenty-one of the 36 first-round picks were position players, including seven of the first 10 selections.

There was a run on pitchers in the middle of the round. There were just three left-handed pitchers taken in the first round.

In 2014, 20 of the 34 first-round picks were pitchers and seven south paws were selected.

The first round of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft was nearly split between college and high school players.

Nineteen of the 36 selections, which included several compensation picks, were out of college. If you include Brady Aiken, who was pitching for IMG Academy before undergoing Tommy John surgery, there were 17 high school players selected in Monday night's first round.

College players dominated the top 10. Seven landed among first 10 players drafted.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have decided who they will take with the first overall pick in Monday night's First-Year Player Draft.

The club isn't telling anyone outside the organization who that player will be, but they have let a group of five players know that they were among those being considered for the first pick.

"We've reached out to the group of guys that we're considering just to let them know that we were considering them," scouting director Deric Ladnier said. "We haven't said, 'We're taking you.' It's more of a professional courtesy than anything so that they can be aware. I would assume all of them want to be the No. 1 pick in the country."

The three players that have been linked to Arizona most often are Dansby Swanson, Carson Fulmer and Tyler Stephenson.

The Chicago Cubs have the ninth overall pick in Monday night's First-Year Player Draft and haven't ruled out taking Brady Aiken.

Aiken was drafted first overall by the Houston Astros last year, but the club rejected him based on medical reports that eventually led to Tommy John surgery.

The left-hander had the surgery in late March.

Aiken isn't expected to last past the first round.

Some familiar names may be called during the First-Year Player Draft next week in New Jersey.

Mariano Rivera III., a right-hander pitcher, is eligible for the annual draft. He is the son of legendary New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera.

Rivera returned to Iona last summer after being drafted by the Yankees in the 29th round.

"In my mind I wanted to be a top 10-rounder," Rivera III recalled. "I was set on coming back, no matter what. I wanted to prove to myself I can do this, I can do more. I wanted to see how far I could push myself and what I really could do with the talent and skills I have now."

Rivera is projected to be taken in the first 10 rounds next week, if not they top five.
