College Classic

Rice junior right-hander Austin Kubitza was selected in the fourth round by the Tigers in Friday’s MLB draft. He was the 126th overall selection.

Kubitza, who will start the Owls’ super regional opener against North Carolina State, is 8-4 with a 2.02 ERA this season.

With a slider that is considered one of the best in college baseball, Kubitza has 126 strikeouts in 102 1/3 innings this season.

He was taken by the Pirates in the seventh round out of high school in 2010.

“I’m with Rice right now, that’s all I’m worried about: getting to Omaha,” Kubitza said earlier this week. “The draft can wait.”
