Dillon Dingler Selected by Detroit Tigers in 2020 MLB Draft, Becomes Ohio State's Highest Draft Selection in 10 Years

After falling into the second round of the MLB draft, Dillon Dingler's didn't have to wait long to hear his name called on Thursday night.

The Detroit Tigers selected former Ohio State catcher Dillon Dingler with the first pick of the second round (No. 38 overall) of the 2020 MLB draft, making Dingler the earliest Buckeye selected in the draft since the Minnesota Twins selected Alex Wimmers with the No. 21 overall pick in 2010.

While Dingler's draft wait did last one day longer than expected, as he was projected as a first-round pick in most mock drafts, he still became Ohio State's first top-60 pick in the last decade.
