Auburn's baseball program is once again making waves as seven of its standout players have earned invitations to the 2026 MLB Draft Combine, a premier showcase that will take place in Phoenix, Arizona, at Chase Field from June 23 to 25.
Auburn Stars Head to Phoenix
The selected group features a blend of seasoned talent and emerging signees, including infielders Eric Guevara and Chris Rembert, right‑hander Alex Petrovic, and the highly touted signees Coleman Borthwick and AJ Rice. Their participation will see them undergo a battery of skills drills, medical examinations and performance tests in front of a contingent of MLB scouts.
Rankings released by MLB highlight the expectations placed on Rembert, who sits at No. 41 among the top 2026 prospects, while Borthwick leads the Auburn contingent at No. 35. Rice is positioned at No. 121, underscoring the depth of talent the Tigers are sending to the event.
Scouting Spotlight
The convergence of elite prospects in Phoenix creates a unique opportunity for teams to evaluate players under a standardized format, compressing what would otherwise be a scattered scouting process into a single, high‑stakes environment.
Fans will be able to follow the action live, as the combine will be broadcast on the MLB Network, with additional interviews and behind‑the‑scenes content streaming on MLB.tv, giving viewers an inside look at the next wave of professional talent.
For Auburn, the combine represents more than just individual exposure; it is a chance to reinforce the program’s reputation as a pipeline for major‑league talent and to attract future recruits who see the pathway from college to the draft.
