Ole Miss pitching trio drafted in first two days of 2021 MLB Draft

Gunnar Hoglund, Doug Nikhazy and Taylor Broadway, one of the top-performing pitching trios to ever step foot on Swayze Field, have been selected in the 2021 MLB Draft.

Hoglund, Nikhazy and Broadway have made a lasting impact on Ole Miss baseball and are slated to continue their successes in the major leagues.

On night one of the Major League Baseball draft, the Toronto Blue Jays selected Hoglund as the 19th overall pick. Before his injury and subsequent Tommy John surgery in the latter half of the 2021 season, Hoglund was a projected top-10 pick in the draft.
