Ole Miss Baseball Sees Five More Players Drafted on Day Two of MLB Draft

The second day of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft concluded with five more Ole Miss players being selected, giving them the option to sign professional contracts or return to the university. Notably, Judd Utermark, Will Furniss, and Tristan Bissetta were not among those drafted this round.
Day two of the 2026 MLB Draft has wrapped up, and five additional members of the Ole Miss baseball program have been chosen by professional clubs. These selections create a significant decision point for each player, balancing the immediate opportunity of signing with their drafting team against the prospect of returning to Ole Miss to potentially enhance their draft stock for a future year.
The influx of drafted Rebels on this day highlights the ongoing talent development within the Ole Miss program. Each player now faces the critical choice of whether to embark on their professional baseball journey immediately or recommit to the collegiate ranks with the goal of improving their standing for future MLB Drafts.
Interestingly, the list of players selected on day two did not include Judd Utermark, Will Furniss, or Tristan Bissetta. Their omission from this particular day's selections leaves their draft futures undecided as the process continues, or potentially indicates they will be returning to Ole Miss.
Ole Miss continues its tradition of producing MLB talent, but the real story will be how many of these drafted players choose immediate professional careers over the allure of returning to campus.
