After going through the first four rounds on Saturday and not hearing his name called, it didn’t take long for Florida State pitcher Trey Beard to be off the board on Sunday.
The weekend starting pitcher was drafted in the fifth round by the Miami Marlins (pick No. 147 overall) and becomes the fourth Seminole to be selected so far in the Major League Baseball draft.
He joins Wes Mendes, Myles Bailey and Brayden Dowd, who were all selected on Saturday.
Beard, who transferred from FAU before the 2026 season, finished his one year in garnet and gold with a 6-1 record and a 4.50 ERA. His last two outings of the season might have been the best. He struck out eight Miami Hurricanes in six innings while allowing just one run. And then followed that up by striking out nine Coastal Carolina batters in four innings in picking up a save in the NCAA Regional.
The MLB slot value for Pick No. 147 is a $494,000 signing bonus.
Moore goes in 7th round to the Pirates
Florida State starting pitcher Bryson Moore was selected by the Pirates in the seventh round (No. 198 overall) on Sunday.
The Virginia transfer served as the Seminoles’ No. 3 starter for most of the year and finished the 2026 season with a 6-2 record and a 3.86 ERA in 67.2 innings pitched.
The slot value for the 198th pick is $317,100.
Stokes, Purcell both drafted in 12th round
A pair of FSU relievers came off the board within nine picks of each other on Sunday afternoon.
Hard-throwing righty Cole Stokes was drafted in the 12th round (No. 353 overall) by the Tampa Bay Rays and Brodie Purcell was drafted No. 362 overall by the Reds.
Stokes and Purcell, who both had roller-coaster debut seasons with the Seminoles in 2026, each have eligibility remaining and could choose to return to college.
