Ten Gauchos realized their dreams of being selected in the
2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
A groundbreaking season for the UCSB baseball team ended in
disappointing fashion with consecutive losses at the Stanford Regional, but
there is no question about the overall talent level of the team and that was
confirmed over the course of the three-day draft.
UCSB had five players selected on the second day of the
draft and set a program record with five players selected in the first eight
rounds. With five more players drafted on Wednesday there were a total of ten
Gauchos drafted over the three-day event.
