Munroe slashed .346/.451/.593 with 13 home runs, 13 doubles and 61 RBIs in his only season at Louisville. The Angels ended up with 14 pitchers (four left-handers) among their 21 total picks.

Round after round passed and Novi star left-hander Uli Fernsler and Birmingham Brother Rice right-hander Blake Ilitch didn’t hear their name called.

The Los Angeles Angels shocked observers by taking UC Santa Barbara pitcher Tyler Bremner at No. 2 overall. The Seattle Mariners took LSU left-hander Kade Anderson, who helped his team win the 2025 College World Series, at No. 3 while the Colorado Rockies selected Ethan Holliday, son of former star outfielder Matt Holliday, at No. 4.
