The 2012 season was a record setting one for the Panther baseball team, so it is only fitting the 2012 Major League Draft was as well. Current Panthers Adam Giacalone, David Bote, and Matt Strahm were all selected as well as former Panther Stephen Williams. It is the first time since 2006 when Boomer Potts was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in that a current Panther has been selected. The four selections is the most in a single draft in the programs history. The three curent Panthers were the first three players from a Kansas College to be selected and the only players from the Jayhawk Conference to be picked.
 
First baseman Adam Giacalone was selected in the 16^th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers with the 515 pick overall. As a freshman he hit .396 while leading the nation with 102 RBIs and finishing with 18 homeruns. During his sophomore campaign, he picked up where he left off once again hitting .396 with a team leading 12 homeruns, 25 doubles, and 59 RBIs. Giacalone also had an impressive career on the mound for the Panthers as his 18 wins and 179.0 innings pitched are also school records. Giacalone also threw two of the most dominant games in school history. As a freshman he set the single game record for strikeouts when he fanned 17 Fort Scott hitters in a win. He topped that performance as a sophomore when he threw the fifth no-hitter in school history facing only one over the minimum. Giacalone currently owns 12 single season or career records. He was twice named the Jayhawk Conference Player of the Year, First Team All-Conference First Baseman and Pitcher, First Team All-Region First Baseman, Second Team All-Region Pitcher. As a freshman he was also named the Freshman of the Year as well as being named a First Team All-American, an honor which he is expected to earn again this season. Giacalone signed a letter of intent in the fall with the University of Tennessee.
