Cowboy Baseball’s Polcovich Selected In MLB Draft
June 11, 2020 | Cowboy Baseball
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State's Kaden Polcovich was selected in the third round on the final day of the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft.
Polcovich was chosen by the Seattle Mariners with the 78th overall pick of the draft. The infielder is the second-highest OSU draft pick under head coach Josh Holliday, behind only Jason Hursh, who was a first-round choice (31st overall) in 2013; he is the Cowboys' 14th top-10 round draft pick in eight years under Holliday and the program's 46th overall during his head coaching tenure.
During the shortened 2020 season, his first in an OSU uniform, Polcovich posted a .344 batting average in 18 games and led the Cowboys in four offensive categories, including RBIs (21), walks (19), runs (20) and multiple-hit games (9). The switch-hitting junior ranked eighth nationally in walks and was also among the top 30 performers in the NCAA in RBIs and runs.
Named a third-team All-American, Polcovich turned in a .578 slugging percentage and .494 on-base percentage and reached base safely in the final 15 games of the season. He was also a standout defensively and did not commit an error while splitting time between second base and third base.
