\"TreHOUSTON \u2013\u00a0Houston Baseball standout outfielder Tre Broussard<\/a> was taken in the third round with the 95th\u00a0overall pick by the Cleveland Guardians to highlight day one of the MLB Draft Saturday.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nBroussard is Houston Baseball’s earliest draft pick since Robert Gasser was taken in the second round (71st\u00a0overall) of the 2021 MLB Draft and the program’s highest position player chosen since Jared Triolo at 72nd\u00a0overall in the 2019 Draft. He’s the first Cougar to be taken by Cleveland since Andrew Lantrip was selected by the club in 2016.\u00a0
\n\u00a0 \u00a0
\nBroussard, an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection this season, was a significant contributor for the Cougars during his time in H-Town. He swiped 56 bases in his two-year tenure, tying for eighth on Houston’s career list.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Houston native led the team with a .344 batting average this season while also stealing 25 bases. His stolen bases tally ranked fourth in the league while his mark of 0.57 steals per game sat second in the conference. Broussard also hit .321 in Big 12 Conference play, a mark that also led the team.\u00a0
