Rounds 11-40 are today and the picks will come very fast. Auburn came out of the first 10 rounds in great shape with its signing class. Check below for updates all day...

That's it for the 2017 MLB Draft. 1B/3B signee Brendan Venter wasn't drafted. Neither was 3B Josh Anthony, LHP Andrew Mitchell, IF Luke Jarvis or IF/OF Jay Estes. Auburn should have a talented team next season.

The N.Y. Yankees draft Auburn RHP/IF signee Tanner Burns in the 37th round.

Auburn IF signee Edouard Julien drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies and LHP signee Peyton Glavine by L.A. Angeles in the 37th round.

Former Auburn RHP Gabe Klobosits drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 36th round, 1093 overall.

Auburn RHP signee Ryan Hoerter drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 36th round, No. 1078 overall.

Auburn C signee Steven Williams was drafted by the N.Y Yankees in the 35th round, No. 1052 overall. He's expected to attend Auburn. The cutoff date for signing is July 15.

Auburn 1B/OF/RHP Daniel Robert drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 21st round. He was listed as a pitcher on the MLB.com site.

Auburn RHP Keegan Thompson was drafted by the Chicago Cubs Tuesday with the final pick of the 3rd round, No. 105 overall. The projected signing bonus for Keegan is $511.9K. Auburn CF Jonah Todd taken by the L.A. Angels in the 6th round of the MLB Draft, No. 175 overall. The projected signing bonus for Todd is $262.4K. Both are expected to sign.

Neither RHP/IF Tanner Burns or C Steven Williams were taken in the first 10 rounds, which makes it very likely both play for Auburn. They were Auburn's highest-rated high school signees.

Chipola CC LHP Evan Steele, an Auburn signee, was drafted by Kansas City in CBB between 2nd and 3rd Round, 74th overall, on Monday. He is expected to sign with the Royals for a projected $791.7K.
