Brett Baty has Longhorns seamheads chomping at the bit for the 2020 baseball season.

Ranked as the No. 15 prospect by Baseball America, the 6-foot-3, 218-pound power hitter was projected to be a first-round pick heading into this year’s MLB draft, and those projections proved true, as Baty was selected by the New York Mets with the No. 12 overall pick.
