The Coastal Plain League announced that 92 players, both former and current, were selected during the 2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Former Savannah Banana Braden Shewmake was the first off the board, selected 21st overall by the Atlanta Braves.

Shewmake played as a Rising-Freshman after graduating from Wyle East High School in Wylie, Texas prior to joining the Bananas later in the summer of 2016. Ultimately he played 10 games for the eventual CPL Champion Bananas, batting .290 across 31 at-bats with one double and seven RBIs. He went on to play for the USA Collegiate National Team in 2018 before being drafted this year after finishing his junior year at Texas A&M.

In total, all 16 CPL clubs saw a player selected in the 2019 draft, with former franchise the Petersburg Generals also being represented. Morehead City, Peninsula, Savannah and Wilson led the way with 10 players selected each. Next was HP-Thomasville with eight, followed by Holly Springs with seven and Martinsville with six players selected. Forest City saw five players come off the board with six other teams following with four players selected: Asheboro, Fayetteville, Florence, Lexington County, Macon and Wilmington. Rounding things out were Edenton with three, Gastonia with two and former CPL franchise Petersburg with one.
