Ryan Scott put himself on the radar of major league teams because of how he controlled himself at the plate all season.
The UALR senior hit .435, which leads all NCAA Division I players, and set school records in hits, RBI and total bases while being named the Sun Belt Conference player of the year and a first-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
But Scott was without any control the past two days, while he and close family members followed the Major League Baseball first-year player draft. Scott's wait ended Friday afternoon when the Boston Red Sox picked him in the seventh round, the 208th pick overall.
