Digging into the attendees, the pool splits into 194 collegiate players and 140 high school athletes. Among that group, 192 of MLB’s Top 200 Draft prospects are set to take part, led by seven of the top 10.
Additionally, the Combine is set to highlight 30 players who previously were a part of Major League Baseball’s developmental programming including the DREAM Series, Breakthrough Series, Hank Aaron Invitational, Nike Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities Program (RBI), States Play Invitational and the 2026 HBCU Swingman Classic Presented by USA Baseball.
Live coverage of the event will exclusively run on MLB Network on Tuesday, June 23, starting at 12 p.m. ET. The broadcast crew will consist of a host of MLB Network’s personalities, including Greg Amsinger, Mike Lowell, Dan O’Dowd, Lance Brozdowski, Jared Carrabis, Harold Reynolds, Dan Plesac, Xavier Scruggs and Pipeline’s Jim Callis.
Interviews with the players and club personnel will be featured as part of the coverage, which will also be streamed live on MLB.TV, MLB.com and in the MLB App. The Draft Combine workouts on June 24 will be streamed across MLB’s digital platforms.
The showcase gives players the opportunity to prove their mettle in a pro-style workout. They will undergo a series of medical and performance tests as well as an educational seminar crafted to prepare them for a career in professional baseball. High school attendees can participate in a live game at 6 p.m. ET on Day 1 of the Combine.
In 2025, 256 of the 309 players who took part in the Combine were selected in the MLB Draft (82.8%), including 87 of the first 100 picks.
