Gragg holds a 3-3 record, two saves and 5.26 ERA. The right-hander’s struck out 35 batters in 39 1/3 innings.
Peyton Battenfield — Houston Astros (8th Round, Pick 286)
After recording his fifth save of the season to punch OSU’s ticket to the Super Regional, Josh Holliday called Battenfield as good as any closer he’s had.
“He took the stopper role for us this year and he’s embraced it,” said Holliday. “He’s been marvelous at it.”
Battenfield heads to Lubbock with a 4-3 record on the year, five saves and a 2.91 ERA with 71 strikeouts in 58 2/3 pitched innings.
Rounds 11-40 of the draft will take place on Wednesday.
