Six Buckeyes were selected in the 2016 Major League Baseball draft and have embarked on their pro careers. How are they doing so far?
The deadline for drafted players with amateur eligibility remaining to sign a pro contract was July 15th, but that date meant little to the six Ohio State players who were selected in 2016. All six had agreed to terms far in advance of that day, and have already gotten their professional careers started.
Ronnie Dawson, who was selected 61st overall by the Houston Astros, agreed to a deal for the slot value of his pick, which was $1,056,800.
