DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Former Bethune-Cookman relief pitcher Pablo Torres has been invited to participate in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft Combine, scheduled for June 23-26 at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.
Torres is one of 335 draft-eligible prospects selected to attend the annual event, which features 195 collegiate players and 140 high school standouts from across the country. The combine provides players with an opportunity to showcase their skills through on-field workouts and testing while also meeting directly with Major League scouts and front office personnel ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft in Philadelphia.
A native of St. Cloud, Florida, Torres concluded a decorated four-year career with the Wildcats as one of the most accomplished relievers in program history. During his time in Maroon and Gold, he earned Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Relief Pitcher of the Year honors in 2024 and was selected to the All-SWAC Second Team on two occasions.
Torres emerged as a cornerstone of the Bethune-Cookman pitching staff throughout his career, serving in both late-inning and high-leverage situations while helping the Wildcats establish themselves among the top programs in the SWAC.
His invitation to the MLB Draft Combine places him among some of the nation's premier draft prospects and offers an opportunity to impress evaluators before the draft begins. The 2026 MLB Draft is scheduled for July 12-14 in Philadelphia as part of Major League Baseball's All-Star Week festivities.
