Kansas Baseball Duo Makes Program History in MLB Draft

The Kansas baseball program has reached a new milestone, with pitcher Tyson LeBlanc and shortstop Dominic Voegele both hearing their names called within the top 100 selections of the 2026 MLB Draft. This achievement marks a significant moment for the Jayhawks, highlighting the caliber of talent being developed in Lawrence.

LeBlanc was chosen by the Detroit Tigers, while Voegele was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles. Their placement within the elite tier of draft prospects underscores their potential and the scouts' confidence in their abilities to contribute at the professional level.

This dual distinction not only individualizes the success of LeBlanc and Voegele but also serves as a testament to the upward trajectory of the Kansas baseball program under its current leadership, solidifying its reputation as a contender on the national stage.
