The Seattle Mariners announced the selection of right‑hander Anthony Treto in the 13th round of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft, a move that underscores the club’s continued investment in collegiate talent.
Treto capped a standout senior season with a 3.10 earned run average, 68 strikeouts and a perfect 3‑0 record, while sharing the bullpen lead with eight saves for the Texans.
His impact helped Tarleton State capture its second Division I conference championship and contributed to the team’s third‑ever NCAA Regional victory, a milestone that underscores the program’s rising profile.
The draft also places Treto in the company of former Texan Will Stevens, who was selected in 2023, making him the first player from Texas to be drafted in the past three years.
Beyond his personal statistics, Treto’s presence on the mound was pivotal during the WAC Championship game, where he fanned six batters, and in the Regional opener against UC Santa Barbara, where he again recorded six strikeouts.
Looking Ahead
With a strong foundation and a pipeline of talent, the program is poised to maintain its upward trajectory, and Treto’s professional journey will be closely watched by scouts and fans alike.
