South Alabama's Dylan Hardy drafted by Red Sox in 13th round

South Alabama outfielder Dylan Hardy on Wednesday was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 13th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Wednesday.

Hardy, a D'Iberville, Miss., native, was a first-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection as a junior this past season. He batted .331/.409/.444 with 11 doubles, four home runs, 27 RBIs and 19 steals in 2018 as the Jaguars' starting left fielder.

Hardy -- who was drafted with the No. 400 overall pick -- joins teammates Travis Swaggerty and Brendan Donovan as South Alabama players drafted by MLB teams this year.
