BOISE — Boise State's baseball team hasn't taken the field. In fact, the Broncos won't play a game until 2020. But, the team is already getting recognized for its players, with a signee being drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 20th round of the MLB draft on Wednesday.
Reed Harrington signed to play for the Broncos after his tenure at the Spokane Falls Community College. He is originally from Eagle and is a pitcher.
Harrington was drafted at pick number 617 in the 20th round.
