Follow Potential MLB Draft Picks as the College Baseball Super Regionals Begin

With the Major League Baseball Draft beginning on July 9, you can get acquainted with potential draft picks by following the NCAA Tournament. We are down to 16 teams remaining in the tournament, with the top eight earning spots in Omaha at the College World Series.

If you are a Major League Baseball fan, now is the time to get into college baseball. There are currently 16 teams left in the NCAA Tournament and with the MLB Draft just over a month away, it's a chance to see several potential draft prospects for your favorite team.

The NCAA Tournament works this way:

1) We start out with 64 teams in the NCAA Tournament. The 64 teams are divided into 16, four-team "pods" called the regionals. The winner of each of the each of the regionals are then sent to the super regionals.

2) The super regionals have eight, two-team "pods" playing a best-of-three series to determine who gets a berth in the College World Series. The eight super regional winners advance to Omaha.

We are at the super regional stage right now and here's the schedule, per NCAA.com:
