The Vanderbilt Commodores won’t have to look far to replace catcher C.J. Rodriguez, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the fifth round of the 2021 MLB Draft.

Dominic Keegan, who played first base for VU this year and was drafted in the 19th round on Tuesday by the New York Yankees, will return to school next season, according to a report from Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball.
