1 min read
Former Oklahoma State SS Marcus Brown was taken by the Washington Nationals in the fifth round of the 2023 MLB Draft.
The Washington Nationals selected former Oklahoma State Cowboys shortstop Marcus Brown with the 138th overall pick in the fifth round and a big reason centered around his defensive capabilities. Brown has played second base, but stood out as a junior this past season at the shortstop position.

We spotlight the chemistry of the middle infield pair in our video spotlight on Brown, who finished with a career-high .469 slugging percentage in 2023.
