Which Mississippi State players were selected in Day 2 of the 2021 MLB Draft?
Mississippi State baseball couldn't have asked for a better ending to its season. Winning its first team national championship in school history, the Bulldogs can now top it all off with a flurry of draft picks across the board on Days 2 and 3 of the 2021 MLB Draft. Though some of the players linked to Mississippi State who may hear their names called have yet to arrive on campus, when and where they land may determine whether they spend their next few years in Starkville or forego their college experience. Here are all of Mississippi State's Day 2 picks:  Current players  OF Tanner Allen  Team: Miami Marlins, Round 4 (No. 118 overall)  Slot value: $487,900. Allen, who was a consensus All-American and the SEC's player of the year in 2021, led Mississippi State to a College World Series title by batting .383 with a 1.077 OPS with 66 RBIs and 72 runs in 67 games. Across 13 NCAA Tournament games in 2021, Allen batted .380 (19-for-50) with 17 runs, 12 RBIs, five doubles and three home runs. RHP Eric Cerantola  Team: Kansas City Royals, Round 5 (No. 139 overall)  Slot value: $398,000. Selected in the eighth round of the Ontario Hockey League draft in 2016, the Canadian pitcher chose baseball and Mississippi State. With a fastball that averages 95 mph, he has the raw ability to be a force in the pros. The Bulldogs didn't trust him in high-leverage situations, though, leaving him off the College World Series roster. LHP Christian MacLeod  Team: Minnesota Twins, Round 5 (No. 159 overall)  Slot value: $327,200. Despite a 5.23 ERA on 19 appearances this season, MacLeod struck out 113 batters this season on his way to Mississippi State's first national title.The 6-foot-4 junior has a plus-upper 70s curveball and a great command of his fastball, which looks promising to scouts at the next level, according to MLB.com. Mississippi State signees  OF James Wood  Team: San Diego Padres, Round 2 (No. 62 overall)  Slot value: $1,102,700  Wood may not make it to Starkville. The 6-foot-7, 240-pound 18-year-old who played at IMG Academy is a force at the plate. Though his swing is still raw with much improvement needed, his size and power projects him to hit 25-30 homers annually. SS Jordan McCants  Team: Miami Marlins, Round 3 (No. 88 overall)  Slot value: $678,600. A Pensacola (Florida) Catholic graduate, McCants has impressed scouts with his approach at the plate and his ability to nab extra bases. A switch from the middle infield to the outfield could also be a possibility for Jordan McCants, whether it be in Starkville or the pros. Victor Prieto is a sports reporting intern at the Tennessean.
