Donofrio is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound outfielder and lefthanded hitter who is one of the oldest players in the 2024 class, but who could get drafted as a money-saving senior sign thanks to his performance with North Carolina. He started his college career all the way back in 2019 with Division III SUNY Cortland (N.Y.), then played for two seasons at Quinnipiac where he hit at a high level and transferred to UNC and the ACC for the 2024 season as a 24 year old. He slashed .311/.425/.528 through 47 games with five home runs and more walks than strikeouts as the team’s everyday right fielder and hits the ball hard with solid contact ability. Many teams will undoubtedly not have interest given his advanced age but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him sign a significantly under slot deal on the second day of the draft either.
