MLB/MiLB Buckeyes (Official Thread)

Four former Ohio State Buckeyes who should see time in the 2026 MLB season

Three former Buckeyes have made Opening Day rosters, while another starts the season on the IL.

Dominic Canzone - Seattle Mariners​

The most exciting player to come from Ohio State currently in the majors is Dominic Canzone of the Seattle Mariners. After playing a big part in helping Seattle make the playoffs for second time in the last four seasons, Canzone will likely play a bigger role for the Mariners this season.
The former Buckeye enters this season coming off an appearance for Italy in the World Baseball Classic, where he hit a home run against Brazil.

Dillon Dingler - Detroit Tigers​

Dillon Dingler started to make a name for himself in 2025. Following a 2024 campaign where he appeared in 27 games, Dingler became a starter behind the plate for Detroit. The Ohio State alum handled a pitching staff headlined by Tarik Skubal, who has now won the AL Cy Young Award in back-to-back seasons.

Ryan Feltner - Colorado Rockies​

While the Mariners and Tigers will likely be interesting watches after making the playoffs last season, the same can’t be said for the Colorado Rockies, who have lost at least 100 games in each of the last three seasons, and haven’t made the playoffs since 2018.

Zach Dezenzo - Houston Astros​

Technically Zach Dezenzo isn’t on a major league roster after he was placed on the IL on Wednesday. Had Dezenzo not suffered an elbow injury in the World Baseball Classic, he likely would have made the Opening Day roster of the Houston Astros.
Dezenzo suffered a right elbow sprain while playing for Team Italy in the WBC. In 19 at-bats in the WBC, Dezenzo hit .263.

Im sorry but this write up is lazy. How do you not mention Dingler won a freaking Gold Glove last year?
