Ryan Cook, a right-handed pitcher from USC who’s from the Fresno area, was the lone player with any ties to the Southland taken Friday in Round 27 of Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft. Cook was drafted 828th overall by the Arizona Diamondback.

If I’ve missed any of our local players who have been drafted out of college, let me know!
