With six selections in the 2017 MLB Draft, FIU had the most players taken of any Conference USA team. In addition, FIU had 13 players from its No. 1-ranked 2017 signing class drafted in the 2017 MLB Draft.
The six Panthers drafted tied for the second most FIU players drafted in a single season in the program's 45-year history. FIU had six players drafted in 1993. The FIU baseball program record for drafted players is seven, which happened for the then-Golden Panthers' 1989 team.
"The players have worked extremely hard to play professional baseball," FIU head coach Mervyl Melendez said.
