Auburn Baseball Standouts Head to 2026 MLB Draft Combine

Key players and top freshmen prospects highlight Alabama’s deep draft presence

The 2026 MLB Draft combine is fast approaching, and Auburn’s baseball program is poised to make a strong impression. Three current players—Alex Petrovic, Chris Rembert and Eric Guevara—have earned invitations, joining four highly touted freshmen commits. The showcase will bring together the nation’s most promising prospects, and the Tigers’ representation underscores the program’s rising draft stock.

Auburn’s Draft Prospects Shine

Alex Petrovic anchors the weekend rotation for the Tigers, boasting the lowest ERA, best WHIP and the lowest opponent batting average among qualifying pitchers. His consistency on the mound has made him a cornerstone of Auburn’s pitching staff and a prime candidate for early‑round selection.

Chris Rembert, a draft‑eligible sophomore, serves as the team’s starting second baseman and currently sits 41st on MLB’s big board. His blend of speed, defense and contact hitting has turned him into one of the most watched middle‑infield prospects in the country.

Eric Guevara has been a middle‑of‑the‑order mainstay for two seasons, delivering power and average at the plate. This spring he ranked third on the team in hits, and his reputation as a clutch hitter adds another layer of intrigue for scouts evaluating his bat.

Among the four freshmen commitments, left‑hander Coleman Borthwick and right‑hander AJ Rice have broken into the top‑200 prospects, landing at Nos. 32 and 121 respectively on MLB’s draft board. Their inclusion signals a deep talent pipeline heading into the program.

The upcoming combine will provide a critical platform for these athletes to measure their abilities against the nation’s best. With the eyes of professional teams watching, Auburn’s prospects hope to cement their positions ahead of the 2026 draft.
