Though six Vanderbilt baseball signees were selected during Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft, several notable signees remain on the board.
Eric Booth Jr. (first round), Aiden Ruiz (second), Sean Duncan (second), Luke Williams (third), Keon Johnson (third) and Collin Bland (fourth) were selected in the first four rounds on July 11, and all are likely to sign and begin their pro careers rather than play for the Commodores.
But several other high-profile signees, including pitchers Joseph Contreras and Bo Holloway, outfielders Noah Wilson and James Tronstein and infielder Gunner Skelton, remain on the board. Although some could get drafted early on July 12 in the fifth or sixth rounds, most likely will go to Vanderbilt at this point.
The Commodores had the No. 1-ranked signing class by Perfect Game and Baseball America entering the draft.
Several elite players remain in the class.
