FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton had two players selected on the third and final day of the 2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Wednesday.

It's now the 45th straight season the Titans have had at least one player selected in the MLB Draft and the seventh consecutive year with multiple players picked in the draft.

Daniel Cope was selected with the 399th pick in the 13th round by the Colorado Rockies. Sahid Valenzuela was also taken in the 13th round by the Oakland Athletics with the 404th pick.
