MLB Draft Continues with Rounds 5-20
The second day of the 2026 MLB Draft will feature rounds 5 through 20, running from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. ET, accessible via MLB.com, MLB TV, and MLB+.
Following a Day One that saw no current players from the Vanderbilt program selected in the initial four rounds, the focus shifts to the later stages of the draft. While this might be a disappointing outcome for the team given their recent postseason absence, Vanderbilt did secure six commitments who were ultimately drafted.
The implications of these drafted commitments are, for some observers, a cause for concern. It raises questions about the future roster composition and the program's ability to retain its top talent as players weigh professional opportunities against their college commitments.
Vanderbilt's draft day struggles, despite securing commitments, highlight a concerning trend for college programs facing the allure of early professional careers.
