Tapia, a utility player, batted .295 with 43 hits and 24 RBI last season. He also boasted a .425 OBP last season, which ranked top 20 in Conference USA, as he drew 22 walks and was hit by pitch 14 times.
The San Antonio native has started 122 games for the Roadrunners over four seasons. Tapia is a four-time C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll member.
