But, which schools have had the most players picked over the years? Well, the Twitter account @GradBaseball put together a convenient graphic to answer that very question.
Below, you can see how the numbers change over time, with Texas A&M coming out on top, providing 258 of the 2,794 total picks from the SEC:

Georgia comes in at only 158 players drafted, 100 fewer than the Aggies. Arkansas is No. 2 with 240 draftees.
This year’s MLB Draft will only be 5 rounds. How many players from the SEC will hear their names called? We’ll find out soon enough.
