MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State baseball program can add Chayce McDermott to its long list of Major League Baseball draftees after he was selected by the Houston Astros in the fourth round of the MLB Draft Monday.
McDermott did not stray too far from home when he signed to play at Ball State under 17th-year head coach Rich Maloney. The 6-3 right-handed pitcher hails from Anderson, Indiana, and went to Pendleton Heights High School which is just over 20 miles from Ball State.
"Chayce has worked extremely hard in climbing a mountain to become the best he can be," Maloney said.
