We got us a Mulerider! (I know literally nothing about the kid, except he played for Dallas Baptist before transferring the SAU. And he was the second player from SAU taken in the draft this year.)
Be Bold!

BaseballCensus.com scouting report



*****

Rd 25 = Adam Cox, RHP, Montana State Billings
bio

One of the top closers in all of D-II baseball, he's the first player from MSUB to ever be selected in the MLB draft

Cox, a senior right-handed pitcher from Encino, California, was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 25th round, the 737th pick overall. ... Cox was with the Yellowjackets for five seasons, including a redshirt year. This past spring, he earned all-region and All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference honors with a league-high six saves and a 2.54 ERA in 28 1/3 innings pitched. Cox had 47 strikeouts. In four seasons with MSUB, Cox had a career ERA of 3.92, striking out 110 batters in 82 2/3 innings. A versatile player, Cox was also an all-region selection as a utility player in 2016 after batting .371 with 12 doubles and nine home runs. He also led the GNAC with 47 RBIs. Cox homered in his first at-bat.


*****

Rd 26 = Eric White, RHP, Southern Arkansas
bio
@ericwhite1282

White, a transfer junior from Dallas Baptist University, was selected in the June draft for the second time in his baseball career after being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 32nd round (No. 956 OVR) of the 2014 MLB June Amateur First-Year Player Draft following his senior year of high school at Parkers Chapel (AR).

An All-Central Region Honorable Mention selection by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and an All-GAC Second-Team honoree, White's first year working out of the Mulerider bullpen was a productive one as the right-hander led the GAC in saves with nine in 18 appearances spanning 31.2 innings pitched. He finished 2018 with a 1.99 ERA and a 4-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio after collecting 44 strikeouts. Opponents hit a staff-low .146 off of him and he allowed only two extra base hits of just the 15 hits surrendered.

A native of El Dorado, White's selection at No. 767 overall makes him the 11th highest Mulerider taken in the MLB Draft. He is the second SAU player selected by the Phillies organization joining outfielder and fellow Union Country (AR) product Vince Holyfield in 1985 (3rd RD | No. 70 OVR).


*****

Rd 27 = Jack Conley, C, NC State
bio

Conley compiled a .333 batting average at the plate during his junior season with the Wolfpack, as he saw action in 21 games with eight starts. He hit a pair of home runs during the year with his first against UNC Asheville and his second versus James Madison.

The Raleigh native enjoyed a standout performance against the JMU Dukes, as he was 3-for-5 with three RBI, two runs and a homer.

Conley logged a .515 slugging percentage at the dish and a .476 on-base percentage.

An excellent receiver and thrower behind the plate, Conley tallied 89 putouts and had 10 assists without committing an error.

@benithen

Junior College All-American and Gold Glove winner...Dirtbag-type baseball player...Elite, premier defender in outfield...Above average and accurate arm...Plus work ethic...Hard-nosed, hard-90 guy that uses all fields at plate...Ability to hit double-digit doubles and home runs...Intense player who will not back down from any situation...Not lacking in confidence...Should help right away in outfield and as potential leadoff hitter.
