The day for Texas Tech draft eligible players is beginning to ramp up as the Colorado Rockies have drafted catcher Braxton Fulford with the 170th pick in the 2021 MLB Draft.
Fulford is the third Red Raider drafted on the second day of the draft.
Braxton has been the most reliable catcher for the Red Raiders for the last four seasons, coming to Tech from across town at Lubbock Monterey High School.
In 2021, Fulford helped Tech while batting .264 with 14 homers and 45 RBIs this past season.

For the third straight season, Texas Tech has the opportunity to win two games in Lubbock and book its spot in Omaha for the College World Series.
The Red Raiders will be taking on The Stanford Cardinal in a best-of-three series that will be played Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (if necessary).
The Cardinal are the number nine overall seed in the tournament and many felt like they should be hosting this Super Regional instead of Texas Tech. They did not win the Pac-12 but they finished in third, two and a half games back. Maybe if they would’ve been another half game back they would’ve gotten unnecessary hate from around the country too.
