South Brunswick center fielder Walker Jenkins has been selected with the 5th overall pick in the MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins. Jenkins was the two-time North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year. Jenkins is signed to play college baseball at UNC, but the fact that he was picked so high in the draft reflects a likely willingness to sign and turn pro. (High School OT)
