Notre Dame baseball recruit Caden Crowell didn’t hear his name called in the MLB Draft, but he’s not dwelling on it. Instead, he’s shifting his focus to making an impact with the Fighting Irish, embracing the chance to develop his game in South Bend.

Editor’s Note: For top high school prospects, the MLB Draft is a high-stakes moment—but getting passed over doesn’t mean the end of the road. Crowell’s situation highlights how college baseball can be a springboard for players to refine their skills and boost their draft stock later. For Notre Dame fans, it’s a silver lining: they’re getting a motivated arm with something to prove.

Florida State's baseball team just made history by having a whopping 11 players selected in this year's MLB Draft—the most the program has ever seen in a single draft. That’s not just a lucky break; it’s proof of how deep and talented this Seminoles squad really was.

Editor’s Note: For FSU fans and college baseball followers, this is a big deal—it shows the program’s strength in developing pro-ready talent. More draft picks mean more exposure for the school, better recruiting prospects, and bragging rights in a competitive NCAA landscape. It’s also a win for the players, who now get their shot at the big leagues.

Despite Texas Tech's pitching staff struggling with the second-worst ERA in the Big 12 this season, four of their pitchers—Mac Heuer, Trendan Parish, Jack Cebert, and Zane Petty—were still selected in the MLB draft, along with one other player.

Editor’s Note: This story highlights how MLB scouts often look beyond team stats to spot raw talent—these pitchers clearly stood out despite Texas Tech’s rough season. For fans, it’s a reminder that draft picks aren’t just about wins and losses, but about untapped potential that could shine at the next level.
