The Texas baseball program had one of its worst seasons in recent memory under former AP Coach of the Year David Pierce in 2019. The fortunes for this Texas baseball team appeared to be on the rise for the 2020 season with commitments like shortstop Brett Baty ready to come to the Forty Acres. Yet, the 2019 MLB Draft expectedly put those hopes to rest in all likelihood.
Apparently referred to as “Brett the Met” when he was a kid, Baty was regarded as not only one of the nation’s top college baseball recruits, but a top MLB Draft prospect.
