Since I’m from Ohio, I figured I’d do some research on the guys who are from my fellow state or played ball in my state who were blessed enough to get drafted. A lot of dreams were realized between April 26th-28th.
I have the schools and players that are Ohio in bold lettering, if they went to a Ohio school in got draft they will just have italic lettering and the same if for the non Ohio school that house Ohio players.

There were 15 players from Ohio drafted this year, which is a large amount of players, if I say so myself. There were countless others who were signed as free agents who went to Ohio based schools or were from Ohio. I did this post to shout out all of those countless players hard work. Keep pushing you are making Ohio proud.
