The 2026 MLB Draft is here, and the FSU baseball program is once again expected to have several players drafted early. It will start an important stretch for Link Jarrett and his coaching staff as they build their roster for the 2027 season.
The Seminoles set a program record last year with 11 former players being drafted, which was tied for the most of any team in the country. The group was led by pitcher Jamie Arnold, who the Athletics drafted with the No. 11 overall pick, giving FSU a top 15 pick in back-to-back drafts and three over the two years.
While it would be a surprise to hear an FSU player drafted that early, Wes Mendes has a shot to be taken in the second half of the first round after an excellent junior season. High school commits Landon Thome and Kaden Waetcher could also be first-round selections.
Here's where to watch all 20 rounds of the 2026 MLB Draft, as well as the FSU players most likely to hear their names called.
The first day of the 2026 MLB Draft can be watched several different ways. The first 10 picks will be broadcast on NBC and streamed on Peacock. Picks 11 through 40 will be broadcast on MLB Network and streamed on MLB.com, MLB.TV, and MLB+. Picks 41 through 135 will be streamed on MLB.com, MLB.TV, and MLB+.
Rounds five through 20 will take place on Sunday, with every pick being streamed on MLB.com, MLB.TV, and MLB+.
The 2026 MLB Draft is the start of MLB All-Star Week and will take place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Saturday's action is set to start at 1 p.m. ET with a preview show and will last until 7:45 p.m. Round five is set to start at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday and last until 7:30 p.m.
