Detroit — The texts started coming in late Wednesday night.
Most pundits and mock drafters had Ohio State catcher Dillon Dingler going late in the first round, but 37 names were called and none were his.
"A bunch of people were texting me last night, not quite apologizing but just saying to hang in there," Dingler said. "I heard different things from different teams that maybe I'd go in the late compensatory round.
"But you can't look at it that way, you can't be disappointed. You've got to look forward to the team that picked you and be grateful for that.
