Reds Select FSU Pitcher Brodie Purcell in 2026 MLB Draft

Purcell, a key contributor out of the bullpen for the Seminoles, joins the Reds' system as they continue to build depth through the amateur draft. His selection at pick number 362 indicates the team sees potential in his development as a professional pitcher.

The left-handed reliever brings his college experience to the professional ranks, where he will aim to translate his collegiate success. The Reds have consistently looked to bolster their pitching staff through the draft, and Purcell is the latest addition to that ongoing effort.
