WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary baseball’s Nate Knowles will represent the Tribe at the fourth annual MLB Draft Combine at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz., from June 18-23. The Combine will feature 319 Draft-eligible prospects, and Knowles is one of 193 collegiate prospects who received an invite.
Knowles’ junior season culminated in a growing list of national and conference honors as he was named an All-American by two publications, becoming the first All-American pitcher in W&M history. He was also tabbed CAA Pitcher of the Year and a first-team All-CAA selection.
The righty fanned a whopping 112 batters over 80 innings of work, marking the fourth-most single-season strikeouts in program history. Joining elite company, Knowles sits among just 12 players who have eclipsed the 86-mark in a season, seven of whom went on to get drafted, including 2004 first-round pick Bill Bray.

The 2024 MLB Draft will take place in Arlington, Texas, on July 14-16. A year ago, the Tribe saw a pair of MLB Draft picks in the top eight rounds, including Ben Williamson at overall pick No. 57 to the Seattle Mariners, the second highest selection in program history.
