The Draft concludes on Saturday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 1p ET.

Earlier in the day, the Rays selected North Carolina shortstop Michael Russell in the fifth round.

He also scored a league-best 67 runs, posting a .599 slugging percentage and a .481 on-base percentage. He drew 39 walks and struck out just 21 times.

He bats right-handed and has decent size at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. He also played at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
