Multiple SEC, ACC Players Selected in 2025 MLB Draft

The 2025 Major League Baseball Draft saw several notable collegiate players selected, including Alabama's team captain Kade Snell, who was taken in the 5th round by the Chicago Cubs after an impressive season as an everyday left fielder with a .363 batting average and 10 home runs. Louisville's Jake Munroe was picked 109th overall by the Los Angeles Angels, recognized for his strong offensive performance with a .346 batting average and 13 home runs in his lone season with the Cardinals. Tennessee right-handed pitcher Nate Snead was a third-round pick (105th overall) by the Angels, known for his powerful fastball reaching up to 101 mph and his role as a key reliever who helped Tennessee win the national championship in 2024. Snead's pitching arsenal includes five different pitches, though he needs improvement in control and command, leaving his future role in the pros open between starting and relieving. These draft selections highlight the depth of talent from collegiate baseball programs and the transition of key players from college leaders to professional prospects.
