Several more Tar Heels heard their name called during day three of the Major League Baseball draft.

Junior Catcher Korey Dunbar was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 20th round.

Following Dunbar, in the 21st round, Junior Left Fielder Landon Lassiter was selected at number 622 overall by the Chicago White Sox.

Lassiter hit .300 this year for UNC but was suspended during the ACC Tournament for conduct detrimental to the team. Scouts had projected Lassiter to move on signing a professional contact heading into the draft but said the details surrounding his suspension would be taken into consideration.

Senior Pitcher Trevor Kelley was taken in the 36th round by the Boston Red Sox.

Former Carolina Pitcher Taylore Cherry will be joining Lassiter in the White Sox organization after being selected by Chicago in the 32nd round.

Day three wrapped up the 40 rounds of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft.

Four members of the Diamond Heels were selected on day two of the draft.
