Gavin Gallaher Undrafted in 2026 MLB Draft; Will Return to UNC

The 2026 Major League Baseball Draft saw a notable omission as UNC's standout infielder, Gavin Gallaher, was not among the players chosen. This development means Gallaher will continue his development with the Tar Heels for at least another collegiate season.

Gallaher, a significant contributor to the UNC baseball program, was widely considered a prospect with potential. His decision to return in 2027, following his draft year absence, suggests a belief in his own development trajectory or perhaps a strategic move to improve his draft stock further.

His continued presence provides a substantial boost to the UNC lineup for the upcoming season. The team will look to leverage his skills and experience as they aim for a successful collegiate campaign in 2027.
