The Los Angeles Angels shocked observers by taking UC Santa Barbara pitcher Tyler Bremner at No. 2 overall. The Seattle Mariners took LSU left-hander Kade Anderson, who helped his team win the 2025 College World Series, at No. 3 while the Colorado Rockies selected Ethan Holliday, son of former star outfielder Matt Holliday, at No. 4.

Walters, the younger brother of former UM closer and current Cleveland Guardians reliever Andrew Walters, was picked in the MLB draft. The Philadelphia Phillies picked Walters in the eighth round. He is the second UM player picked in this year’s draft after the Seattle Mariners picked Griffin Hugus in the third round on Sunday.
