Notes

• First MLB draft was in 1965.
• All players were drafted in the primary June draft except where noted with the following:
  • JunSec = June Secondary Draft
  • Jan = January Draft
  • JanSec = January Secondary Draft
• The following players are shown in OU's official draft lists on their website and in the most recent media guide I have access to (2022), but are not on the Letterwinners list or in previous media guides and therefore not in my database. I have also reached out to Baseball Reference since they have some of the same information. Research notes are in bold:

  • Eddie Williams, P, 1968, 43rd round, 852nd pick, Baltimore - Played at Southwestern Oklahoma State
  • Dan Massari, 1B, 1976, 4th round, 81st pick, Cleveland - Played at OSU
  • Joe Price, P, 1977, 4th round, 102nd pick, Cincinnati - Played at OSU
  • Billy Irions, P, 1981, 1st round, 6th pick, Philadelphia - Played at Seminole (OK)
  • Kight Higgins, P, 1983, 3rd round, 50th pick, San Francisco - Played at Seminole (OK), then TCU (confirmed with player)
