The first four year player is off the board, as TCU Baseball’s Iron Man, Josh Watson was selected by the Oakland A’s in the 15th round Wednesday, #464 overall. He improved his draft stock significantly by returning for his senior season despite being drafted in the late rounds last year.
Watson was a day one starter when he arrived in Fort Worth as a freshman out of Arlington Martin, where the two-sport star made a name for himself as a football linebacker and baseball outfielder. He brought that linebacker mentality to the baseball field, playing a hard-nosed style that often left him dirtied and with rips in his uniform.
