SAN MARCOS – Former Texas State pitcher Lucas Humpal has already been drafted once, but after a record-breaking season that saw him claim school records in strikeouts and innings pitched he has been drafted again. This time, the Baltimore Orioles selected him in the ninth round with the 271st pick of the 2016 Major League Baseball Draft Friday afternoon.
"I want to thank everybody at Texas State who have helped and supported me along the way," Humpal said. "Hard work has brought me here, and it's going to be hard work that takes me to the top.
