The majority of those drafted from DIII are pitchers.
As Ralph posted, an average of about 20 are selected each year.
Having followed the numbers back to 2002, I would judge the number of pitchers each year to be around 12(plus/minus) as contrasted with position players being around 8(plus/minus).
When we look at the list of players in MLB/Milb that OshDude  has posted, the pitcher vs position player balance becomes far more clear.  Many more pitchers than position players in Milb/Mlb.

With the draft starting tomorrow, any more thoughts on specific D3 players that could get the call??

I think in the New York Region there is 4 or 5 potential draft picks.
Filak of course and then 4 players from Cortland--Andersen Gardner, Travis Ratliff, Stephen Nickel, Kyle Dimino.

I'd say of those 5 there is only one shoe in and thats Filak...probably a top 6 round guy.

I just did a very quick and cursory overview on MLB Draft Tracker and the 1,500 or so players listed through the MLB Scouting Bureau.
Hopefully I  missed some in the scan because it cannot be done by DIII as a division. I could only find Filak and Kelson Brown of Linfield listed.
Just located a few more:
Van Horn from Wooster;
Bartilinski from Kean;
Gregory from Kean;
Versnick from UW Whitewater.
Hopefully others can find players I missed.

Late by 28 minutes. That hurts.

But I'm a Hopkins homer.  I was so excited I didn't even read the prior posts.
