ST. PETERSBURG -- Dan Heefner is the head baseball coach at Dallas Baptist. He has seen some pretty good pitchers grace the Patriots' roster, but he sees something special in Brandon Koch.
The Rays selected the right-hander in the fourth round, with the 118th selection of the 2015 Draft.
"We've had a lot of good arms," Heefner said. "We've had a first-rounder, a second-rounder, a third-rounder, we've had some really good ones come through here. And he's the best we've ever had."
Koch, 21, became the first pitcher selected by the Rays in the 2015 Draft.
