TCU catcher Evan Skoug was selected in the seventh round by the Chicago White Sox in the Major League Baseball draft Tuesday night.
The junior from Libertyville, Ill., rated the No. 2 college catcher in the draft, is expected to start his professional career this summer following the College World Series. He is hitting .277 and leads the Horned Frogs with 20 home runs and 67 RBIs heading into a 6 p.m. Sunday opener in Omaha, Neb.
Skoug hit two home runs in a Super Regional series sweep against Missouri State to power the Frogs to the College World Series for a fourth consecutive season.
