Alabama transfer commits, top recruit selected in 2026 MLB draft

Not only were current Alabama Crimson Tide baseball players selected in the 2026 MLB draft, but a few committed to play for the program next season were as well.

Among those were a pair of transfer portal additions, the first of which was selected in the opening rounds Saturday night in Dylan Marionneaux. The Northwestern State transfer was selected in the fourth round, taken by the Chicago Cubs with the No. 126 pick overall.

In addition to Marionneaux, Garrett Lambert also came off the board early Sunday. The Mercer transfer was drafted by the Colorado Rockies, selected with the No. 165 overall pick in the sixth round.

Alabama also had one of their top high school commits selected as well in Hudson DeVaughan, who was drafted in the 19th round at pick No. 569 overall by the Kansas City Royals. DeVaughan is a right-handed pitcher out of Mooresville High School in Indiana, ranking as the nation's No. 125 overall player in the 2026 class by Perfect Game.

All three will likely be names to watch in the coming days and weeks to see whether they sign professionally with those teams or not. If they do not sign, each will then likely play a significant role for the Crimson Tide in 2027.
