June 12, 2022
Official Major League Baseball News Release
255 Draft-Eligible Players to Take Part in Combine ... MLB Network Expands Combine Programming with On-Site Coverage June 16-17.
Major League Baseball and USA Baseball has chosen a list of participating draft-eligible players, as well as a detailed schedule of events, for the 2022 draft combine, which will take place from June 14-20 at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. The Combine will feature 255 draft prospects, including 137 collegiate players and 118 high school athletes, as well as a decorated group of former big leaguers, coaches, members of Club baseball operations departments, scouting directors and other Club personnel.
Of the 255, three invited players are Canadians
_ Okotoks Dawgs’ and TNXL RHP Matthew Grabmann (Dartmouth, NS) who has committed to Oregon. Grabmann earned 2022 Perfect Game Preseason All American honors for Canada/Puerto All Region First Team. He made the 2022 National Academies Association all-star tram.
_ Former UBC Thunderbirds RHP Adam Maier (North Vancouver, BC) of the Oregon Ducks. He had InternalBrace surgery technique and is expected to return to the mound some time in October. He won’t pitch but he will be interviewed by club scouting directors and general managers who want to know more about a player’s “make up.” In his three starts before the injury he was 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA, walking six and fanning 19 in 15 2/3 innings.
_ Langley Blaze RHP Jacob Zibin (Langley, Bc) is expected to be the top Canadian selected. He is listed 77th on Perfect Game’s top 400 combined list of high schoolers and collegians (April 15, 2022). He won NAA conference MVP pitching six scoreless innings, allowing one hit, while fanning nine.
_ Charlotte ‘49ers 1B David MacCabe (Oshawa, Ont.) was invited but declined to attend. He hit .386 in 42 games with 13 doubles, 16 homers and 52 RBIs. He finished with a .797 OPS.
The combine will provide an opportunity for players to participate in a series of medical and performance assessments as well as educational programming designed to prepare them for careers in pro ball. All players will have the opportunity to participate in a pro-style showcase workout, as well as strength and performance assessments. Additionally, high school players will have the option to participate in games against other high school Combine attendees.
As part of the combine experience, attendees will benefit from the opportunity to interview and interact directly with Major League Club general managers and scouting directors, as well as an enhanced medical evaluation process. Participants at the MLB Draft Combine will also have opportunities to be featured on MLB social media channels, in addition to receiving personal branding training and access to real-time content and custom video for their own platforms.
In addition to the Draft prospects, others scheduled to attend include Hall of Famer and seven-time all-star Trevor Hoffman; five-time all-star and nine-time Gold Glove Award winner Torii Hunter; two-time all-star and three-time Gold Glover Eric Davis; 2001 all-star and three-time Gold Glover Mike Cameron; four-time All-star Dante Bichette; three-time all-star Charles Nagy; 1986 World Series Champion Roger McDowell; 2013 World Series Champion Jarrod Saltalamacchia; two-time all-star Dmitri Young; two-time World Series Champion and MLB’s senior director of on-field operations Gregor Blanco; former big leaguer eaguer and MLB’s senior director of on-field operations Rajai Davis; former big leaguers Bruce Chen, Courtney Duncan, Marvin Freeman, Brian Hunter, Jarrod Parker, Ray Searage and Fernando Tatis Sr.; former big-league managers Jerry Manuel, Bo Porter and Mike Scioscia, who won the 2002 World Series as manager of the Angels and led Team USA to a silver medal at the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan; longtime baseball executive and MLB consultant Omar Minaya; 2009 All-star and senior vice president of on-field operations Raul Ibañez; and baseball’s senior VP of on-field operations Michael Hill.
