Mejia, a fourth-round pick, was the highest Arizona player selected.
Mejia is hitting .367 with a slugging percentage of .504, having started all 58 games for the Wildcats. He also was chosen the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.

The draft continues through 15 rounds Tuesday. The final 25 rounds will be held Wednesday.
