TAMU baseball recruit Kevin Ahrens was drafted 16th over all by the Toronto Blue Jays. NCAA rules allow high school baseball players to enter the draft without loosing eligibility. Ahrens must now has to choose between big bucks/years of minor league ball and the Diamond Darlings college ball. We may have a shot. Scouts are telling Ahrens that he should move to third base, but he thinks he has the "ability to play shortstop instead of third base." Maybe he needs a few years of college to prove that. Right now Ahrens has "no clue" what he will do, but will "make a decision pretty soon."
Ahrens, one of the state's top hitters as a senior, batted .426 with 11 home runs and 43 RBIs to lead Houston' Memorial to the Class 5A regional quarterfinals.
