2026 MLB Draft Combine set for June 23-26 in Phoenix with 334 prospects expected

The 2026 MLB Draft Combine is scheduled to run June 23-26 at Chase Field in Phoenix, giving clubs one more major evaluation window before July's draft in Philadelphia.

MLB Network is expected to begin live coverage on June 23, the opening day of the event.

Combine schedule and setting

The combine will take place at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, over four days of workouts, testing, interviews and education sessions. The event is designed to help clubs compare amateur players in a controlled setting ahead of draft day.

Reporting on the combine says 334 prospects are expected to attend, including 194 college players and 140 high school players. One separate local report listed the field at 335 prospects, including 195 college players and 140 high school players, but the broader count of 334 is the figure carried in the main preview.

Prospects to watch

Among the players mentioned in current reporting are Sawyer Strosnider and Trevor Condon, who were singled out as names to watch at the event.

A separate Rutgers report also said outfielder Peyton Bonds received an invite to the combine, adding another player-level confirmation of the attendee pool.

Why it matters

The combine sits near the center of the pre-draft calendar. Teams use it to gather medical, athletic and interview information, while prospects get another chance to raise their profile before the MLB Draft begins July 11-12 in Philadelphia.

MLB Pipeline's Top 200 list reportedly includes 192 of the combine attendees, underscoring how much of the draft class will be on site in Phoenix.
