TAMPA - Senior third baseman Jonathan Koscso of the University of South Florida baseball team rounded out a day that saw five Bulls hear their names called as he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 29th round with the 900th overall pick.

With five players selected already in the 2011 MLB draft, it is the most for USF during Lelo Prado's era as Bulls' skipper and most for the program since 1998. One more draft pick will tie the most ever in a single draft with six.

Starting all 54 games this season, Koscso paced the Bulls with a .340 average at the plate and a .447 on-base percentage.

Having never missed a start since stepping on to campus, Koscso started 229 consecutive games and in doing so placed himself among the top 10 in numerous offensive categories.

He ranks tied for third in career games, seventh in at-bats (862), eighth in hits (274), ninth in doubles (49), seventh in runs scored (181) and is the school's all-time hit by pitcher leader. His 75 career hit by pitches are the eighth-most in NCAA history.

He was named to the All-BIG EAST first team last month, and was accepted into USF's College of Medicine after graduating with a degree in biology,
