## Resource

Texas Rangers strike gold in the MLB Draft, selecting 19-year-old phenom Gio Rojas at 16 — the top high school pitcher and best lefty in this year’s class. With a 98 mph fastball, a devastating slider thanks to his unique arm angle, and a developing changeup, Rojas dominated his senior year at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, posting a 0.58 ERA and 124 strikeouts in 72 innings. He capped off his high school career with a lights-out state championship performance and previously led Team USA to a gold medal at the U-18 World Cup, throwing a complete-game shutout. Despite a college offer from Miami, Rojas is headed straight to the pros — becoming the first from his high school to be drafted in the first round, joining elite alumni like Anthony Rizzo and Jesús Luzardo.
