​The 2026 MLB Amateur Draft has officially concluded, as has the first draft with the Colorado Rockies’ new front office under president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes. The Rockies selected 21 young players, not looking for a franchise savior, but to restock the farm system and work on creating a foundation for the team’s future. One such foundational player–selected tenth overall–was first round pick and Kentucky shortstop Tyler Bell.Bell, the first of five day one picks, does many things well. He was arguably one of the best players available, plays a premium position–and plays it well–and is incredibly patient at the plate. While he will likely need shoulder surgery that will delay his professional debut to 2027, he’s excited to be with the Rockies and eager to get to work.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Rockies also selected two college pitchers and two college catchers–including the highly decorated Georgia product Daniel Jackson at 37th overall–on day one of the draft.Day two of the MLB draft continues to be an all-day affair. Much like last season, all remaining picks starting in the fifth round were compressed into a single day. The Rockies used many of these picks to select pitchers, though they also brought several outfielders and a first baseman into the organization.Their final draft pick–in the 20th round–was Dimitri Williams Jr, an outfielder from Bishop O’Dowd High School in California.Overall, the Rockies drafted 12 pitchers (eight right-handed and four left-handed), five outfielders, two catchers, one shortstop, and one first baseman. They selected five players out of high school, the most by the organization since 2019, and 16 players from college. This year they did not select any JuCo players, nor did they select any players from the state of Colorado.RoundPickPlayerPositionSchoolClassSigned?Signed ForSlot Value110Tyler BellSSUniversity of KentuckySophomore$6,393,10037Daniel JacksonCUniversity of GeorgiaJunior$2,696,700238Logan ReddemannRHPUCLAJunior$2,633,100376Jack NatiliCUniversity of CincinnatiJunior$1,103,5004104Ben DavisRHPMississippi State UniversitySenior$755,3005136Tyler PutnamRHPBattle High School (Missouri)HS Senior$553,1006165Garrett LambertRHPMercer UniversityJunior$417,4007194Jack ScottRHPUniversity of Central MissouriJunior$327,7008224Hudson BarrettLHPOklahoma State UniversitySenior$258,4009254Tanner SagouspeRHPTexas Christian UniversityGraduate$217,80010284Mikiah NegreteLHPCal State FullertonSenior$201,50011314Gavin SwartsRHPNormal Community High School (Illinois)HS Senior$150,00012344Garrett BrewerLHPAuburn UniversityJunior$150,00013374Juriel CollazoOFChristian Military Academy HS (Puerto Rico)HS Senior$150,00014404Lorenzo CarrierOFUniversity of Pittsburgh5th Year Senior$150,00015434Ryan Niedzwiedz1BSouthern Illinois University EdwardsvilleJunior$150,00016464Sam LarsonRHPTulane UniversityJunior$150,00017494Josh SwinkLHPLiberty UniversityJ
