After a season that saw them win regular season and conference tournament titles, TCU Baseball sent (potentially) six players to professional baseball, as Russell Smith, Johnny Ray, Phillip Sikes, Harrison Beethe, Marcelo Perez, and Haylen Green heard their names called across the 20 round MLB Draft this week.
Russell Smith was the first TCU player off the board, selected in the second round by the Milwaukee Brewers with the 51st pick overall. That would be it for Horned Frogs on day two, as the next player wouldn’t be called until round 12.
The next player may have been the most surprising, as right handed pitcher Johnny Ray went to the White Sox with the 365th pick.
