Penn State Baseball Shines in MLB Draft | Texas Rangers News

Three Penn State baseball stars got drafted this weekend—Michael Anderson, Alex Weingartner, and Dalton Harper—marking a historic moment for the program. Anderson, a two-way standout, became the first Penn State player drafted as such, selected 149th overall by the Texas Rangers. Weingartner, a high school phenom and Penn State commit, went to the White Sox in the sixth round, while Harper, a junior college star, joined the Braves in the 16th. This surge of talent signals a new era for Penn State baseball, with Anderson’s pick being the highest since 2022 and Weingartner’s selection the first straight-from-high-school MLB draft pick for Penn State since 2021. Coach Gambino’s program is clearly building a pipeline of elite talent, whether they head pro or return to State College.
