Walters State Baseball Sees Three Former Standouts Drafted

The talent pipeline from Walters State Community College to professional baseball continues to flow, with three former players hearing their names called in the 2026 MLB Draft. Among them was Drew Horn, whose selection by the St. Louis Cardinals marks a significant step in his burgeoning career.

Horn's inclusion in the draft class is particularly noteworthy as he was one of three former players from coach Dave Shelton's program to be selected. This achievement highlights the consistent development of talent under Shelton's guidance at Walters State, a junior college with a strong reputation for producing future MLB prospects.

The success of these former Senators in the draft underscores the program's effectiveness in preparing players for the next level, whether it be a four-year university or directly into professional baseball. For Horn and his fellow draftees, this marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication, opening the door to a professional career.
