Tanner Burns will be a two-way player for Auburn net season.

AUBURN, Ala. – The first two days of the Major League Baseball draft couldn’t have gone much better for the future of Auburn baseball.

Two blue-chip signees went undrafted through the first 10 rounds, not because they weren’t good enough but because they were not viewed as likely to sign and pass up their college careers.

Pitcher/infielder Tanner Burns from Decatur (Ala.) High School, Alabama’s Mr. Baseball, and catcher Steven Williams from Deerfield-Windsor High School in Albany, Ga., were projected high-round picks and might yet be drafted in the lower rounds, but it’s unlikely they will be swayed away from Auburn.

Left-handed pitcher Evan Steele of Chipola (Fla.) Community College went to the Kansas City Royals with the 73rd pick and is likely to sign.

Auburn coaches expected going into the draft to lose Steele. Otherwise, their signing class escaped the first two days unscathed.

Other Auburn signees, including slugging corner infielder Brendan Venter from McLennan (Texas) Community College, two-way standout Cody Greenhill from Russellville (Ala.) High School and right-handed pitcher Ryan Hoerter of Indian Trail Academy in Pleasant Prairie, Wisc., could also be drafted Wednesday.

Burns’ father, Calhoun Community College baseball coach Mike Burns, posted on Facebook that his son is Auburn-bound.

“I'm proud of Tanner Burns for not taking less than life-changing money from the draft,” Mike Burns posted. “He chose Auburn University because of (head coach) Butch Thompson. Now it's time to go to Auburn and learn from the best.”

Burns made his plans clear through his Twitter account. Williams seemingly did the same.

I said from day one, I was all in for Auburn. I feel my decision to attend Auburn will help my lifelong goal. #WDE @AuburnBaseball — Tanner Burns (@32Tburns) June 13, 2017

The only draft eligible Auburn juniors chosen were right-handed pitcher Keegan Thompson by the Chicago Cubs in the third round and centerfielder Jonah Todd by the Chicago Cubs in the sixth round. More draft-eligible juniors and seniors will be chosen Wednesday in rounds 11-40.

Junior third baseman Josh Anthony, junior left-handed pitcher Andrew Mitchell and senior first baseman Daniel Robert are likely to get calls.

Junior right-handed pitcher Calvin Coker, junior infielders Luke Jarvis and Jay Estes, senior right-handed pitchers Cole Lipscomb and Gabe Klobosits and senior catcher Blake Logan also are possibilities.
