Ben Johnson turned a great junior season into a chance of a lifetime – to play major league baseball. The junior was selected in the 11th round by the Kansas City Royals and plans to sign with the club.
Falling out of the 10 top rounds didn’t convince the Westwood product ot return to Texas. Best of luck to him at the next level, as he’ll never have more leverage than he does now.
Shortstop CJ Hinojosa also plans to turn pro. A tough year at the plate didn’t deter the junior pursuing a professional career.
