The college baseball season was cut short this year because of COVID-19, and that includes the draft, which means for hundreds of prospect players, their dream was thrown out the window. 

Local 5's Matthew Judy caught up with Iowa Hawkeye senior catcher Austin Martin.

"I wasn't gonna sit here and lie to myself I knew I probably wasn't a top five player and I'd be kind of waiting around," Martin said, "But yeah, I think I didn't throw all hope out the window just because there's always next year." 

Martin is back in town for now to play in the College All Stars tournament at Principal Park.
