If he signs, he’ll join his Baylor buddy Wendzel in the Rangers organization. Wendzel is a native of Southern California, but he’s been described as the “most Texan guy on the team” by several of his Baylor teammates. So when Texas snapped him up with the final selection of the compensation rounds, his BU pals were loving it.

“We’ve got a lot of (Rangers) fans on the team, so that’s cool,” Wendzel said on Tuesday. “A lot of guys were breaking out their jerseys last night, so that was awesome. I feel like I’m from Texas in my heart, so it’s awesome that I get to play for Texas.”

Wendzel won Big 12 Co-Player of the Year from the conference coaches this year after leading the league in hitting with a .385 average in the regular season. The guy that shared that honor with him? That was none other than Texas Tech’s Josh Jung, who the Rangers took with the No. 8 pick.

Jung played primarily at third base until this year, when he switched to shortstop. But the Rangers had him projected as a third baseman, which is also where Wendzel has been stationed.

But Wendzel said that he’s comfortable moving around, if needed.
