Six former MLB Draft League players currently suit up for a MLB club and in less than a week, the next crop of talent coming through the Draft League walls will begin their path to the big leagues.
Before the first pitch of the 2026 season on Tuesday, June 2, former players were making waves at the MLB level. Jonah Tong and Jonathan Pintaro, both former Frederick Keys, made their return mound for the New York Mets, while Logan VanWey was recalled to the Houston Astros on Wednesday, May 27.
Over the past week, two alumni who have instilled themselves in their team’s starting lineups put together three-hit performances: Sam Antonacci for the White Sox on Wednesday and TJ Rumfield on Saturday, May 23 for the Rockies.
This week’s Alumni Report covers 25 standouts in the Minors and Majors, as well as an update on a new free agent signing and other player promotions.
