The only draft during the past 29 years where a Tech player was not selected/signed free agent was in 1987. In fact, during the past 23 years there have been multiple Red Raiders drafted/signed free agent deals. TEXAS TECH HEAD COACH DAN SPENCER - MENTORED 58 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL DRAFT PICKS SINCE 1997 Dan Spencer has had numerous success stories in his college baseball coaching career. Among them is coaching 58 players in his time at Oregon State (1997- 2007) and Texas Tech (2008-Present) that have been selected in the MLB Draft. He coached 45 players at Oregon State and entering this year had coached 13 play- ers at Texas Tech that have been drafted. Overall Spencer has coached three first-round picks, 14 players who have gone in the top five rounds and 26 players who have been drafted in the top 10 rounds. In only three years at Tech, Spencer has worked with nine Tech pitchers that have been drafted - including four top-10 round selections. In his career, Spencer has coached seven players (all at Oregon State) that have since made their MLB debuts. TECH IN ELITE COMPANY AMONG BIG 12 PROGRAMS Since the first Big 12 baseball season in 1997, Texas Tech is one of only three programs in the conference to have at least one player drafted in the top 14 rounds of the draft every season. The Red Raiders join Oklahoma State and Texas A&M as the only programs that have had a top-14 round pick every year since 1997. HIGHEST DRAFTED RED RAIDER - DONALD HARRIS (1ST ROUND, 5TH OVERALL - 1989) Former Red Raider and Texas Rangers outfielder Donald Harris is the highest drafted Texas Tech player as Harris was selected fifth overall in the 1989 MLB Draft by Texas. Harris is the only first-rounder in Texas Tech history while 18 Red Raiders have gone in the top five rounds. Seven Tech players have been selected in the top 100 overall picks, including 2010 second-round draft pick Chad Bettis (Colorado Rockies - 2nd round, No. 76 overall). Texas Tech Top 100 Overall Selections 1989 - Donald Harris, OF (Texas Rangers, 1st Round - No. 5 overall) 1996 - Matt Miller, LHP (Detroit Tigers, 2nd Round - No. 41 overall) 1994 - Ryan Nye, RHP (Philadelphia Phillies, 2nd Round - No. 57 overall) 2010 - Chad Bettis, RHP (Colorado Rockies, 2nd Round - No. 76 overall) 2008 - Roger Kieschnick, OF (San Francisco Giants, 3rd Round - No. 82 overall) 2008 - Zach Stewart, RHP (Cincinnati Reds, 3rd Round - No. 84 overall) 1999 - Josh Bard, C (Colorado Rockies, 3rd Round - No. 100 overall) RED RAIDERS DRAFTED/SIGNED BY 28 MLB ORGANIZATIONS In the history of Texas Tech baseball, there has been at least one Red Raider drafted or signed by 28 of 30 Major League Baseball organizations. Only the Minneso- ta Twins and the newly-founded Arizona Diamondbacks (1998) have not selected or signed a Texas Tech player. Overall, 59 players have gone to National League teams with 55 players drafted/signed by American League clubs. The National League Central (27) is the division that has drafted/signed the most Red Raiders while the hometown Texas Rangers (8) and Kansas City Royals (8) are the organization that have taken the most Tech players. Although neither organization has drafted a Red Raider since 2007 (SS Kyle Martin, 29th round - Kansas City) and the Rangers have drafted only one Tech player (OF Michael Mask, 32nd round - 2004) during the last 18 years. The Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros and San Diego Padres have all drafted/signed seven Texas Tech players. The only organization that has drafted a Tech player that doesn’t currently exists is the Houston Colt .45’s, as they signed the first-ever Red Raider when Chuck Harrison signed with the soon-to-be Houston Astros in 1962. The Colt .45’s were established in 1962 and then became the Astros three years later.

Fourteen of Tech’s big leaguers have made their debuts since 2000, including four Red Raiders who played for Tech during the past decade (Jeff Karstens - 2003, Dallas Braden - 2004, Dustin Richardson - 2006, Josh Tomlin - 2006). DALLAS BRADEN THROWS 19TH PERFECT GAME IN MLB HISTORY IN 2010 Perhaps Texas Tech’s most well-known baseball alum, Dallas Braden, tossed the 19th perfect game in Major League Baseball history on May 9, 2010, against the Tampa Bay Rays. It marked only the eighth perfect game all-time thrown by a pitcher who played collegiate baseball and he became the first-ever Big 12 pitcher to enter the MLB record books with a perfect game.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – July 4, 2018 Blackmon jump-starts Rox offense in win vs. SF Center fielder homers in first, sets tone for 5th win in 6 games Thomas Harding | MLB.com | July 4, 2018 DENVER -- Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon spent nearly a month searching for the swing and pitch recognition that made him the National League batting champion last year. He felt close, but not quite there, and settled for a jam- shot single here, a move-the-runner fly ball there. On Tuesday night, he joined what looks like a Rockies breakout. Blackmon whacked a first-inning home run -- his first in 42 at-bats -- to straightaway center field and added two more hits in his team's fifth victory in six games, an 8-1 win over the Giants at Coors Field. "It's really good to continue to try and win games, play team baseball, even if you're not feeling real awesome at the plate or on the mound," said Blackmon, who has 15 homers -- nine of which occurred during a hot April -- and a .275 batting average. The victory -- which also included Antonio Senzatela's seven scoreless, three-hit innings in his first start of the season and Nolan Arenado's National League-leading 22nd homer -- put the Rockies back at .500 (43-43). Could it also have signaled Blackmon's return to major contributor status? "I've felt pretty good the past couple of days," Blackmon said. 1 From June 6 to Monday's 5-2 victory over the Giants, Blackmon hit .216 (22-for-102) with two homers -- a struggle that was nonexistent when he hit .331 with 37 homers in 2017.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
