PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Pilots baseball shortstop Chad Stevens was drafted in the 11th round of the 2021 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros on Tuesday. He is the first Pilot to be drafted since Beau Brundage was drafted back in 2018.
"I feel good, I'm really excited," Stevens said. "This has been my goal since I can remember to play professional baseball so it feels really good to have that become a reality."
Stevens had a stellar senior season for the Pilots, earning first team All-WCC honors after helping lead Portland to their best record since 2012.
