May was the Marlins' third pick of the draft after selecting two prep position players. May becomes the first pitcher selected by the Marlins in the draft and first Pac-12 pitcher to be selected in the 2024 draft as well.
The last Pac-12 player Miami selected in the draft was Colby Shade out of Oregon in the ninth round in 2023. The last Oregon State player selected by the Marlins' organization was Ben Holmes in 2014.
