Four Longhorns taken on day three of MLB Draft

Hinojosa, Johnson, Bellow and Marlow all selected; four class of 2015 signees also drafted

The third and final day of the Major League Baseball Draft saw four Longhorns selected, including a pair of 11th round selections in junior shortstop C.J Hinojosa and junior outfielder Ben Johnson, while four class of 2015 signees were also drafted.

Hinojosa was first off the board for Texas when he was taken with the 336th overall selection by the San Francisco Giants, and Johnson followed three picks later when the Kansas City Royals took him.

In the 26th round, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected left-handed pitcher Kirby Bellow and three rounds later second baseman Brooks Marlow was taken by the Houston Astros.
