USC baseball infielders James Roberts and Adam Landecker were selected in the 2013 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Roberts went in the 15th round to the Cleveland Indians, while Landecker was picked by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 21st round.

As a junior, Roberts could opt to return to Troy. He led the team with 38 RBIs and 4 home runs this season, and sported a .320 batting average.

Landecker (pictured) finished his Trojan career as an All-Pac-12 honorable mention selection for the second consecutive season. He finished second in the conference and tops on the team with a .351 batting average.
