The San Diego Padres dipped into the state of Texas for three of their selections in this year’s 2018 MLB draft. Two of those picks were Grant Little (74th overall) and Jose Quezada (291st overall) out of Texas Tech. While both young men put up memorable performances during their College World Series run, Grant Little was the star of the show for the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Little kicked off his World Series campaign with a 3-3 day at the plate, as Texas Tech took down the top overall seed Florida Gators. Unfortunately, Little struggled in his team’s loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the winner’s bracket, logging an 0-4 performance.
