By Nathan Keil | Sports Editor
It took until day three, but two Baylor baseball stars heard their names called in the 2018 MLB draft.
Senior closer Troy Montemayor was selected in the 25th round with the 753rd overall pick by the St. Louis Cardinals and sophomore third baseman Davis Wendzel was later selected in the 37th round with the 1,120th overall selection.
Montemayor has been the stopper at the back of the Baylor bullpen for the last three years.
In 2016, the San Antonio native appeared in 24 games and posted a 1-1 record with a 0.78 ERA with 14 saves in 23 innings of work. He followed it up with a 3-1 record with 12 saves in 2017 and finally a 2-1 record with 11 saves in 26 1/3 innings.
