The MLB Draft Combine is set to open its doors in Phoenix, Arizona, from June 23 through June 26, bringing together a record 335 of the nation’s top prospects at Chase Field.
Georgia’s Draft Prospects
Representing the state of Georgia, six Bulldogs — Daniel Jackson, Tre Phelps, Kenny Ishikawa, Rylan Lujo, Joey Volchko and Dylan Vigue — have earned invitations to the event, underscoring the program’s continued pipeline of talent.
The combine will feature 195 collegiate players alongside 140 high school athletes, providing a unique platform for scouts and analysts to evaluate draft‑ready talent across the country.
Among the Georgia contingent, 2026 commit Matthew Sharman of Woodstock stands out after a dominant high school season that saw him post a 1.22 ERA and hit .419 at the plate, earning the state’s Player of the Year honor.
Sharman’s commitment to the University of Georgia, originally made under former coach Scott Stricklin and reaffirmed after the transition to Wes Johnson, highlights the program’s stability and appeal.
The presence of these players at the combine not only reflects individual achievement but also signals the Bulldogs’ ongoing impact on the national baseball landscape.
