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:

A Michigan State baseball player is heading to the pros. On Sunday, the Spartans’ shortstop, Mitch Jebb, was selected in the second round of the MLB draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates, number 42 overall.

Jebb is MSU’s highest draft-pick since Mark Mulder was taken at No. 2 by the Oakland Athletics in 1998.

Jebb was a three-time All-Big Ten selection and also made the Big Ten all-freshman team in 2021.
