Junior Dillon Dingler was selected by the Detroit Tigers with the first pick of the second round of the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft. The North Canton, Ohio, native who was taken with the 38th overall pick, is the 107th Buckeye taken in the history of the Major League Baseball Draft and the 12th taken in the first or second round.
Ohio State has developed 110 all-time draft picks in program history. Thirty-six players have gone on to play in the Major Leagues. Under head coach Greg Beals, Ohio State has claimed 27 MLB draft picks since 2011.
On April 14, 2021, former Buckeye outfielder Ronnie Dawson was promoted to the majors for the first time. He made his major league debut that day as the Astros’ designated hitter against the Detroit Tigers and recorded his first major league hit, a single off of Alex Lange.
