Three TCU commits were taken off the board on day one of the MLB Draft, and now a current Horned Frog has been taken, with the Cleveland Indians drafting Austen Wade.
Wade was drafted with the 162nd overall pick, and his approximate pick value is $293, 800, per MLB.com. Wade is hitting .342 this season, as the Frogs head to Omaha this weekend, with 24 extra base hits, 15 stolen bases, and a team-leading 47 walks.
TCU’s right fielder projects well at the next level, with top-end speed on the base paths and great pop in his bat.
