For the first time in the history of Baylor’s baseball program, two of its players were selected in the first round of the 2019 MLB First-Year Player Draft on Monday night. Junior starters Shea Langeliers and Davis Wendzel heard their names called the day after they donned their Baylor uniforms for the last time.
With the ninth overall pick, the Atlanta Braves selected Bears catcher Langeliers, who finished his final season as a collegiate ballplayer with a .308 batting average, 10 homeruns and putout 14 would-be base stealers despite a hamate injury in his catching hand earlier this year.
