Marlins MLB Draft Tracker: Live Updates, Picks and Analysis

The 2026 MLB Draft is here and the Miami Marlins will be ready to take yet another step forward. The team has surpassed everyone’s expectations in their rebuild efforts and this draft could maximize that as well.

Miami holds the No. 14 overall pick and has a generous bonus pool worth nearly $12 million. This gives Peter Bendix and his staff a lot of flexibility to add multiple players who can really have an impact on this team.

With five picks on day one of the draft, there will be plenty of opportunities to improve their farm system which is ranked at number 11 by MLB Pipeline.

Long-term depth is always important so the draft paired with player development will go well with a strong draft class. The Marlins pipeline has already featured a lot of really exciting prospects.

The draft preview show starts at 1 p.m. ET with picks beginning around 1:30 p.m.

Follow along as we track every Marlins pick in the 2026 MLB Draft.

Miami Marlins Draft Pick Tracker

Round 1, Pick No. 14: Jacob Lombard, SS, Gulliver Prep, Florida

The Miami Marlins may have gotten a steal at number 14 overall, with shortstop Jacob Lombard of Gulliver Prep Academy in Florida. The teenager is already big for the position, at 6’3” and 195 pounds. Like most prospects his age, he will likely add anywhere from 15-25 pounds as he matures and fills out his frame. That will only increase his promising power. As the Miami Herald's Dade County 4A-1A Baseball Player of the Year, Lombard hit .477 with nine home runs, 25 RBI, and 52 runs scored in his senior season.

That kind of power suggests the Sunshine State shortstop will likely find himself in third or left field by the time his career in the big leagues finally hatches. He can play defense adeptly and has good range. His speed makes him a dual threat, as some scouts project him to be a potential 30-30 guy in The Show.

Round 2, Pick No. 52: Ethan Kleinschmit, P, Oregon State

Competitive Balance Round B, Pick No. 71: Ryan Peterson, P, Sam Houston

Round 3, Pick No. 87:

Round 4, Pick No. 115:
