ATLANTA — Coastal Carolina University RHP Jacob Morrison was taken in the third round of the 2025 Major League Baseball Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers with the 94th overall selection.
 
He joins his battery mate — catcher Caden Bodine — as a day one pick. Bodine went to the Baltimore Orioles with the No. 30 overall pick giving the Chants two choices in the Top 100 for the first time since 1983.
 
Morrison (12-1) — the ABCA/Rawlings DI National Pitcher of the Year — was one of the key cogs in the Chanticleers run to Omaha and finished the season ranked tied for third in the NCAA with 12 wins. He was a four-time, First-Team All-American, earning honors from ABCA/Rawlings, College Baseball Foundation, D1Baseball and NCBWA.
 
Coastal Carolina had a nation-leading and school record 56 wins, a Sun Belt Conference Championship, Sun Belt Tournament Championship, Conway Regional Championship, Auburn Super Regional Championship and a 3-0 run in Omaha to the Men’s College World Series Championship Final. Over the last quarter of the season, Coastal posted a 26-game winning streak, the fourth-longest winning streak in DI in the last five years. 
 
The Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Year, Morrison was also tabbed as a First-Team All-American, the NCBWA District 4 Player of the Year and was a finalist for the National Pitcher of the Year Award. Coastal Carolina was 17-2 when he pitched this year and 16-2 when he started. He leads the nation with 10 starts of at least six innings while allowing one or fewer runs. The only player with a season of more such outings in the last five years is LSU’s Paul Skenes in 2023.
 
In his first Omaha start against Oregon State, Morrison retired 16 straight Oregon State batters after allowing a homer to lead off the 3rd inning, the third-longest streak in the MCWS since the 2011 move to Charles Schwab Field Omaha. He trails only South Carolina’s Michael Roth (2012 vs. Kent State) and Oregon State’s Kevin Abel (2018 vs. Arkansas). Morrison is second in the nation with 107.2 IP and is tied for fifth with 18 starts.
