Spencer Van Scoyoc Taken In MLB Draft

SECAUCUS, N.J. – With the 13th pick in the 19th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft, the Philadelphia Phillies selected Spencer Van Scoyoc from the University of Central Oklahoma.
 
Van Scoyoc, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa native, played one season at Central Oklahoma and helped the Bronchos to a 38-20 record and a runner-up finish in both the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Postseason Tournament and the NCAA Central Region II Tournament.
 
The 6-foot-4 lefty made 15 appearances for the Bronchos this past season, including nine starts. Van Scoyoc struck out 42 batters in 39 1/3 innings for Central. Opponents hit just .208 against him. He also made a few plate appearances, including a solid stretch in the NCAA Tournament. Van Scoyoc hit .381, going 8-for-21, with a double and four RBIs. He went 8-for-12 in a three-game stretch in the postseason.
 
Van Scoyoc's selection in the MLB Draft gives Central Oklahoma three consecutive seasons with a draft pick. Holden  Capps was selected in the eighth round of the 2017 MLB Draft while Austin  Lambright was picked in the 10th round of last year's draft. All three picks are left-handed pitchers.
