NEW YORK – Three members of the Texas State baseball team were selected in the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft Wednesday afternoon.

Luke Sherley, Jonathan Ortega and Cam Baird all landed inside the top 20 rounds. Sherley was picked in the 14th round (No. 405 overall) by the Detroit Tigers, Ortega had his name called in the 19th round (No. 580 overall) and Baird came off the board in the 20th round (No. 597 overall).

This marked just the second time in school history – and the first since 2011 – that three Bobcats were drafted in the first 20 rounds.
