Broderick Selected in 14th Round of MLB Draft by Colorado Rockies

Nebraska junior Luke Broderick was selected in the 14th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies with the No. 407 pick overall in the draft on Monday afternoon.

Broderick becomes the eighth Husker pitcher under head coach Will Bolt to be drafted after Mason McConnaughey was selected by the Texas Rangers in the fourth round.

The junior is the fourth Husker to be selected by the Rockies in the draft. Broderick earned second-team All-Big Ten recognition and was named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team and NCBWA’s Preseason and Midseason Stopper of the Year Watch Lists in his first season with the Huskers in 2025.

The right-hander went 4-2 with a 3.25 ERA in 27 relief appearances and totaled 13 saves, which ranks tied for third-most in a season and sixth all-time in program history. Broderick totaled 43 strikeouts in 36 innings and held opposing hitters to a .225 batting average.

Prior to joining the Huskers, Broderick was selected to the USA NJCAA All-Star Team and helped Team USA to a championship appearance at the historic Honkbalweek Haarlem last summer. The Omaha, Neb., native appeared in one game for the Stars and Stripes, allowing three hits with six strikeouts in 3.1 scoreless innings.
