STILLWATER – The 2026 MLB Draft is underway, which means another crop of Oklahoma State baseball players and signees who are headed to the professional ranks.
Junior outfielder Alex Conover was the first Cowboy taken in the fourth round with the 134th overall pick. He was listed as No. 204 on the top 250 prospects list.
Much to the surprise of everyone around Stillwater, nether Kollin Ritchie nor pitcher Hudson Barrett were taken in the first four rounds.
