While preparing for the Super Regionals, several Gamecocks will find out this week if they will have the opportunity to continue playing baseball after college.

Major League Baseball's annual amateur draft begins tonight at 7 p.m. with live coverage on MLB.com and the MLB Network. The first 50 picks (the first and supplemental compensation rounds) will be tonight with the draft continuing for two more days on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The draft resumes on Tuesday at noon. You can follow the entire draft on MLB.com's Draft Central.

Neil White of The State has a story about pitcher Sam Dyson's approach to the draft process this season. Dyson is projected to go in the third or fourth round of the draft.

Gamecock outfielder Whit Merrifield and pitcher Blake Cooper could also be selected within the first ten rounds.
