Ben Malgeri was drafted in 2021 after transferring out of Holy Cross Jack Toomey will be drafted next year
I’m not sure the measuring stick for our college program is players drafted

I agree, of course it is not the measuring stick; PL championships are all that matter (and we went one-for in the last decade). I think it is a massive recruiting boost, however, if you can show that there are opportunities at the next level out of Holy Cross. Football has done this and the program continues to flourish with better and better recruits.

Having a guy in the bigs certainly is a feather in the program's cap, considering how long it's been between players (Cronin's debut was 48 years after Mike Pazik's), only major sport that had a longer gap was basketball.
BTW, HC has produced 77 major leaguers, 8 after WW2; 3 after the mid 60s.

Only 36 years between Garry Witts and Malcolm Miller.
