The future is near as the 2025 MLB Draft Combine approaches. From June 17-21, 322 MLB Draft prospects will participate in various workouts and skill evaluations at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, to showcase their talents to MLB teams.
Out of the 322 prospects invited to the event, seven individuals are from the Florida State Seminoles. The Seminoles had a 42-16 record including a 17-10 conference record. Their season ended in a 2-1 series loss to the Oregon State Beavers in the NCAA Super Regional. Leading the Seminoles to the combine is top projected pick Jamie Arnold. Arnold was one of the best pitchers in college baseball accumulating under a 3 ERA in 84 innings.
Arnold’s teammate, Alex Lodise, is also listed high on draft boards after having a great season at shortstop for the Seminoles.
