Ruger Riojas, a key arm for the Texas Longhorns, has heard his name called in the Major League Baseball Draft. The Philadelphia Phillies organization has secured the services of the left-handed pitcher.
Riojas was a notable selection for the Phillies, coming off the board as the 100th overall pick. His collegiate performance with Texas has evidently impressed the scouting departments in professional baseball.
