Kansas shortstop Tyson LeBlanc and pitcher Dominic Voegele became the highest-drafted players in Dan Fitzgerald's tenure as head coach when they were selected in the early rounds of the 2026 MLB Draft on Saturday afternoon. LeBlanc went No. 61 overall to the Detroit Tigers, making him also the highest-drafted position player in program history and second highest among all former Jayhawks behind Curtis Shaw, who ...
FRISCO, Texas — Trey Lathan’s role pushed him to his physical limits at times in 2025. The Kansas linebacker will readily point to the Missouri game, a 42-31 loss in which KU’s defense simply couldn’t get off the field. “I mean, you feel it toward the end,” he said on Wednesday at Big 12 media days. “I think Missouri, I think I felt it a lot.

The Kansas baseball coaches know all too well that an MLB Draft can unexpectedly deplete a pitching staff. Two summers ago, head coach Dan Fitzgerald remarked at one point that KU surely wouldn’t either keep or lose everyone who was eligible for the draft, and then the Jayhawks proceeded to lose everyone as six players with remaining college eligibility opted to sign and turn pro.
