Three Spartans selected in 2023 MLB Entry Draft

Three Spartans got drafted in the 2023 MLB Draft:

The 2023 MLB Entry Draft has come and gone, and the Michigan State Spartans baseball program fared well in the results of the draft. The Spartans saw three of their own get their names called in the draft.

Jake Boss saw his program in a bit of turmoil with some down seasons, but a huge 2023 season that saw the team go 33-22, and was capped with this feather.

A huge season like the one in 2023, capped by three MLB draft picks, can only make fans excited for the direction the baseball program appears to be heading in once again.

Check out which Spartans got drafted in this year’s MLB draft:
