Aggies Ace Dustin Saenz Selected In 4th Round Of MLB Draft By Washington Nationals
The Texas A&M Aggies had a tough season on the baseball diamond this past season, finishing 29-27 on the year, and missing out on the college baseball postseason.
Despite that, there were still a handful of professional prospects on the roster, including ace pitcher Dustin Saenz, who was the first Aggie selected in the 2021 MLB Draft.
Saenz, who was picked with the 118th overall pick in the fourth round by the Washington Nationals, finished his final season in College Station with a 6-6 record with a 4.27 ERA.

Saenz also struck out 11.1 batters per nine innings,a WHIP of 1.26, and held batters to a .251 average for the year.
While Saenz does have the option to return for the 2022 season due to the NCAA's COVID-19 rules, every indication is that he will take the professional route, and sign with the Nationals at his earliest opportunity.
