Kentucky baseball concludes a remarkable 2024 season and now awaits the outcome of the Major League Baseball Draft, set to begin on Sunday and run through Tuesday.

The draft’s first round kicks off Sunday evening at 7 p.m. ET, airing on the MLB Network, ESPN, and MLB.com. Subsequent rounds will take place on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, starting at 2 p.m. ET on MLB.com.

Under coach Nick Mingione’s tenure, Kentucky has produced 36 draft selections. Outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt stands poised to potentially become the third first-round pick under Mingione, joining notable alumni such as first baseman Evan White and left-handed pitcher Zack Thompson.

The draft represents a significant opportunity for Kentucky baseball players to advance their careers and showcase their talents on a national stage.
