Five with San Jac ties selected, signed in 2026 MLB Draft
PASADENA, Texas — San Jacinto College continues its tradition of producing professional baseball talent as three former Ravens were selected in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft, an incoming San Jac freshman was also drafted, and another former Raven signed an undrafted free agent contract.
“Seeing these players hear their names called in the MLB Draft is a proud moment for our program,” said Eric Weaver, San Jac head baseball coach. “It reflects the commitment, talent, and culture that define San Jac Baseball. Congratulations to each of them. We’re excited to follow their professional journeys and continue building on this tradition.”
Brandon Arvidson, a left-handed pitcher who earned NJCAA All-American honors at San Jac in 2024 before transferring to the University of Tennessee, was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 12th round (No. 367 overall). In his lone season at San Jac, Arvidson posted a 3.84 ERA with 108 strikeouts and earned NJCAA Region XIV First Team honors. He struck out 44 batters in 37 innings for the Volunteers this past season.
Jake Bennett, a catcher who played two seasons at San Jac before transferring to Dallas Baptist University, was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the eighth round (No. 252 overall). As a sophomore, Bennett earned conference co-offensive Player of the Year honors after batting .337 with 18 home runs and 72 RBIs, while also earning Second Team All-American and NJCAA Region XIV First Team honors. He went on to hit .346 with 19 home runs and 53 RBIs in his final season at Dallas Baptist.
Tre Broussard, an outfielder who played at San Jac before transferring to the University of Houston, was selected by the Cleveland Guardians in the third round (No. 95 overall). In his lone season with the Ravens, Broussard hit .409 with 17 stolen bases and earned NJCAA Region XIV First Team honors. He batted .292 with 25 stolen bases for the Cougars this spring.
The Ravens also saw one future player selected in the draft.
Incoming freshman Ross Davis, a right-handed pitcher out of Rusk High School, was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 20th round (No. 590 overall). He posted a 0.45 ERA with 89 strikeouts in 46.2 innings this past season for Rusk. In his final start, Davis threw a no-hitter with 13 strikeouts and one walk in a 2-0 win over Center. He is expected to honor his commitment to San Jac and join the Ravens this fall.
Another former Raven also reached the professional ranks after the draft concluded.
McCabe "Mac" Moyer, an outfielder who played two seasons at San Jac before transferring to the University of Nebraska, signed an undrafted free agent contract with the San Diego Padres. Moyer earned first-team all-region honors at San Jac before batting .353 with four home runs and 38 RBIs in his lone season with the Huskers.
The five players continue San Jac’s long tradition of developing professional baseball talent, with Ravens alumni regularly selected in the MLB Draft or signing professional contracts.
