Ben Theriot drafted by the Kansas City Royals

Texas State junior catcher Ben Theriot was drafted by the Kansas City Royals with the 272nd pick in the 2009 MLB First Year Players Draft.

It comes as a surprise to many that he was drafted that high. Experts, such as Jim Callis of Baseball America, said he would be a late-round pick.

Theriot joins Paul Goldschmidt as the first two members of the Bobcat baseball team to be drafted.
