Ohio State Commit Thiel Undrafted in 2026 MLB Draft

The anticipated selection of Landon Thiel in the 2026 MLB Draft did not materialize, as the talented player from Jackson High School was overlooked by all 30 Major League Baseball franchises.

Thiel, who had committed to play college baseball for the Ohio State Buckeyes, was considered a promising prospect heading into the draft period. His name, however, was not among those called during the proceedings.

While the draft outcome may come as a surprise to some given his recruitment status, Thiel now has the opportunity to pursue his collegiate career with the Buckeyes, where he will aim to develop his skills and potentially re-enter the professional draft conversation in the future.
