Texas Pitcher Ruger Riojas Selected by Phillies in MLB Draft

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.

The move marks a significant step in Riojas's journey towards potentially pitching in the major leagues, beginning his professional career within the Phillies' farm system.
