Athletics Select UCLA Third Baseman Roman Martin

The Oakland Athletics have bolstered their infield prospects by drafting UCLA's Roman Martin. The third baseman heard his name called by the Athletics, marking a significant step in his professional baseball journey.

Martin's selection adds to a growing list of UCLA players finding homes in professional baseball. The Bruins' program has consistently produced talent that is attractive to MLB organizations, and Martin is the latest to benefit from that reputation.

By staying on the West Coast for his professional career, Martin will begin his path toward the major leagues with an organization that has historically drawn from the collegiate talent pool in California.
