Back to the BYU Cougars Newsfeed

One of the best hitters in BYU baseball history is now in the Astros organization.

Congratulations to Colton Shaver on his selection in the 39th round of the 2017 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros.

Colton Shaver has been a crucial piece of the BYU baseball program, as evidenced by his starting in every single game of his college career.

Shaver has been an important staple in the Cougars batting order, but has been useful all over the diamond. Shaver has played as a designated hitter, 1st baseman, 3rd baseman, and even pitcher for BYU baseball. He did every job well.

Shaver received post-season honors all 3 seasons he played in Provo.
