BGSU's Archer selected in 12th round by Chicago White Sox in MLB draft

BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University baseball player Nathan Archer was selected in the 12th round by the Chicago White Sox in the 2024 MLB draft on Tuesday.

Archer was the 349th pick overall. He became the first Falcon player drafted since Trey Keegan and Brian Bien were chosen in 2015, as well as the program’s earliest draft pick since 2005 when BGSU hall of famer Nolan Reimold was taken in the second round by Baltimore.

Archer, a 6-foot, 175-pound centerfielder, had a historic three-year career at BGSU, which included being named the 2024 Mid-American Conference player of the year.
