CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State right-handed pitcher Albert Roblez has been selected in the 16th round, 485th overall, by the San Diego Padres Sunday in the 2026 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
Roblez spent three seasons at the NCAA Division I level, pitching for UNLV and Long Beach State before coming to Corvallis. He finished his collegiate career with an 8-6 record and 3.67 earned run average in 56 appearances, seven of which were starts. He posted 18 saves, with 14 coming during his lone season as a Beaver.
Roblez held opponents to a .173 average in 2026 en route to multiple All-American nods. He sported a 1.50 ERA and 2-1 record over 24 games, all of which were in relief.
Roblez is the fifth Oregon State pitcher in this season’s draft, the most for the Beavers since OSU had six taken in 2010.
Roblez is the eighth Beaver taken by San Diego all-time, and the first since Tyler Malone in 2019.
