4 BYU Cougars- Jaycob Brugman, Jacob Hanneman, Adam Law, and Brock Whitney were selected to the 2013 All-Conference Baseball Team.

4 members of the 2013 BYU Cougars baseball team, and 1 incoming Junior College Player, were drafted in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. NCAA Rules allow players drafted to return as long as they don't sign a contract with the team that has drafted them. Should they do so, they will be eligible to be drafted again next season as rights last only for 1 year for members who don't sign a contract with the team who drafts them. All the drafted Cougar players would sign the contracts and go professional instead of returning.
