The 2026 MLB Draft is fast approaching, with the first round set to unfold in Philadelphia during Major League Baseball’s All‑Star week. The draft will run from July 11 through July 12, marking the culmination of a scouting process that began weeks earlier.
A Deep Talent Pool
Twelve members of Florida State’s 2026 roster and incoming commits will be among the prospects on display at the MLB Draft Combine. The group includes right‑handers John Abraham, Bryson Moore and Cole Stokes, left‑handers Trey Beard, Wes Mendes and Myles Bailey, as well as outfielder Brayden Dowd. Incoming high school standouts such as right‑handers Brayden Harris, Donovan Thiery, Kaden Waechter, and infielder Landon Thome will also test their mettle.
The combine schedule is packed with a High School Sim Game, an On‑Field Showcase, player interviews, strength and conditioning drills, and biomechanical testing. Each element is designed to give teams a comprehensive view of a player’s physical makeup and baseball IQ.
Fans can watch the action live on MLB.TV, MLB.com and the MLB App, with coverage kicking off at 12:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. The broadcast will feature real‑time analysis and behind‑the‑scenes access.
Historical data adds context: 82.8 % of combine participants were selected in the 2025 draft, and last year Florida State set a program‑best and nation‑leading total of 11 draftees.
With the draft just weeks away, the performances in Philadelphia could shape the next wave of Seminoles talent heading to the majors.
