PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Stony Brook senior left-handed pitcher
Micah Worley has been selected in the sixth round with the 177th overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second day of the 2026 MLB Draft in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Worley becomes the 29th player in program history to be selected in the MLB Draft and the first Seawolf drafted since 2019, when Michael Wilson and Nick Grande were selected in the 16th and 17th rounds, respectively. Wilson and Worley are now the only two players to have been selected by the Diamondbacks.
The Missouri native also becomes the highest-drafted Stony Brook player since Travis Jankowski and Pat Cantwell were selected in the first and third rounds of the 2012 MLB Draft.
The first Stony Brook player invited to the MLB Draft Combine since 2021, Worley capped off an outstanding senior campaign by earning All-CAA Honorable Mention honors. He was named CAA Pitcher of the Week in consecutive weeks on April 13 and April 20 after recording 13 strikeouts over 7.2 scoreless innings at Hofstra before following that performance with 10 strikeouts across 8.0 scoreless innings at Monmouth.
He finished second in the CAA with 93 strikeouts, tied for the fifth-most in a single season in program history. Worley posted a 3.12 ERA, the third-best mark in the conference, while compiling a 6-5 record over 69.1 innings pitched. In conference play, he went 4-4 with a 3.29 ERA, recorded at least five strikeouts in nine starts, and held opponents to a .220 batting average.
