It only took 18 games, but Kaden Polcovich made an impression on pro scouts during his time at OSU.
On Thursday, the Seattle Mariners selected Polcovich, the junior infielder from Edmond, with the 78th overall pick in the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft.
That makes him the second-highest drafted Cowboy during Josh Holliday’s tenure but the only Cowboy taken this year. The 2020 draft was abbreviated to just five rounds thanks to the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season.
The Deer Creek High School (Okla.) product came to OSU after a successful stint at the junior college level.
