Mike Boeve made history one last time Sunday night when he became the highest draft pick in Omaha Baseball history after the Milwaukee Brewers picked him in the second round and 54th overall. Omaha's previous highest draft pick was two-time All-Star Bruce Benedict who went 99th overall in the fifth round back in 1976.
Likewise, Boeve becomes the first player in Summit League history to be taken in the second round and is the conference's fourth highest draft pick ever.
The 2022 Summit League Player of the Year and three-time First Team All-Summit selection established himself as one of the best hitters in the NCAA, slashing .360/.469/.526 (.995 OPS) in his career with 206 hits, 54 doubles, 94 RBIs, and 117 runs scored. In his final season, Boeve had a career-best .401 batting average, ranking him 22nd in the nation.
Boeve concludes his Mavericks career as the team's all-time Division I leader in doubles and on-base percentage.
