Potential UDFA's
A look at some of the top undrafted college players after the 2026 MLB Draft.
I wanted to start to preview the potential undrafted free agents following the 2026 MLB Draft. I am looking at the list of players I believe would be among the top free agents to sign.
Note that no high school players or college sophomores are being listed, as they are longer shots to sign as undrafted free agents. There will always be some who do, but the vast majority are highly unlikely to do so. I am also skipping over guys who I don’t believe are likely to sign - Duke catcher Cider Cannon could make himself a good deal more money next year with a healthy season.
Some of the players not found on the list have already signed. Guys like Caden Dulin, Dylan Carey, Mason Patel, Will Holmes, Jake Ogden, AJ Colarusso, Easton Talt, Cade Climie, Drew Detlefsen, David Lally, Harrison Feinberg, Talmadge LeCroy, Jorsixt Jimenez, Mac Moyer, and Josh Skowronski.
