The Oakland A's drafted Oklahoma outfielder Kyler Murray ninth overall in the 2018 MLB Draft.
The 20-year-old, the son of former Texas A&M quarterback Kevin Murray, is also set to be the Sooners' starting quarterback this fall. MLB Network analyst Harold Reynolds said during the network's broadcast of the draft that Murray will return to Norman to play quarterback this fall, but Baseball America executive editor J.J. Cooper tweeted that Murray is "almost assuredly leaving."
9. Oakland A's: Kyler Murray, OF. Sorry Sooners fans, your QB is almost assuredly leaving.
