Gray becomes the first Bulldog drafted in the top three rounds since pitcher Ryan Jensen was taken in the first round in 2019. He is also the highest-drafted Fresno State hitter since Taylor Ward, who went in the first round in 2015.
A Madera South High School alum, the 6-foot-4, 230-pound third baseman hit 36 home runs over three seasons, putting him in 7th place on Fresno State's all-time home run list. He is also in the top 10 for career RBIs and doubles.
During his time with the Bulldogs, Gray was named Co-Mountain West Player of the Year, the Mountain West Tournament Most Valuable Player and earned Mountain West Freshman of the Year honors in 2023.
The slot value for the 73rd pick is approximately $1.13 million.
