Jake Schaffner was selected Saturday by Boston Red Sox as the No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the MLB Draft, capping a season in Chapel Hill that paired elite on‑base skills with Gold Glove‑level defense and postseason poise. Schaffner, who was No. 75 on the Top 250 prospects list, arrived at UNC as a North Dakota State transfer and finished the year among the team leaders in batting average, on‑base percentage and stolen bases.
