    Ahead of the 2024 MLB Draft, six Hoosiers have been invited to the MLB Draft Combine. It is the last major gathering of eligible prospects in front of the 30 MLB franchises before July’s draft on All-Star weekend. The combine will be held at Chase Field in Phoenix.

    The Indiana Baseball team will have six players in attendance, the most of any team in the Big Ten Conference. IU players will make up half of the Big Ten prospects that were invited to the five-day showcase.

    Running from June 18-23, the MLB Draft Combine will allow players to participate in performance assessments, workouts and strength tests for scouts.

    Juniors Luke Sinnard, Carter Mathison, Brock Tibbitts, Josh Pyne and Nick Mitchell will join draft-eligible sophomore Connor Foley at the combine. Foley, one of the fastest rising names up draft boards, is eligible for the draft this season due to his age. He is currently No. 114 among MLB’s Top-200 Draft Prospects.

    Despite missing the entire 2024 season due to injury, Sinnard has continued his rehab in Bloomington. He was an all-conference and all-region performer in 2023 while setting a single-season program record for strikeouts (114). The MLB has Sinnard at No. 184 on its Top-200 Draft Prospects list.

    Mathison, Tibbitts, Pyne and Mitchell all helped IU to a fantastic offensive season in 2024, setting a team program single-season record in doubles (140). Mathison (.260, 13 HR, 44 RBI on the season, All-Big Ten Tournament Team) and Tibbitts (.313, 4 HR, 43 RBI, All-NCAA Knoxville Regional Team) were productive players in the postseason while Pyne (.291, 3 HR, 39 RBI) and Mitchell (.335, 5 HR, 49 RBI) reached base at an electric rate (.353 and .458, respectively) for the Hoosiers in 2024.

    The 2024 MLB Draft is set to take place from July 14-16 in Arlington, Texas during All-Star weekend.

    Since head coach Jeff Mercer has taken over the program, 10 different players have been picked in the top-10 rounds. Craig Yoho (RHP, Milwaukee) and Phillip Glasser (SS, Washington) were IU’s two players selected in last year’s proceedings.
