Georgia senior pitcher Will Harvil (32nd round), junior catcher Joey Lewis (41st) and junior pitcher Justin Earls (47th) were selected on the final day of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Thursday, bringing the total number of Bulldogs drafted to a school-record 11.
I'm pretty surprised that Lewis went so late, but the 11 total players is a pretty impressive tally. Here's the rundown of each pick...
