Sons of former Red Sox stars Ortiz, Ramirez drafted on Day 3 - ESPN

Major League Baseball's three-day amateur draft concluded on Tuesday, with the 30 teams blazing through 300 picks in less than 3 1/2 hours.

There were some familiar last names selected on the final day, which consisted of rounds 11 through 20.

That set off 10 more rounds worth of selections — separated by approximately 45 seconds per pick — until the Texas Rangers took junior college catcher Mac Rose with the last selection of the 20th round.

Australian second baseman Travis Bazzana was taken by the Cleveland Guardians with the No. 1 overall pick on Sunday.
