Fisher Jameson, a right-handed relief pitcher for the University of Florida, has been selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 10th round at pick No. 288. This follows previous Gator selections, including pitcher → first baseman Jac Caglianone, who was taken in the first round by the Kansas City Royals, and pitcher Brandon Neely, who went in the third round to the Boston Red Sox. Jameson's selection marks the fourth overall Gator-related player to be drafted this year, joining shortstop commit Kellon Lindsey, who was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
During his 2024 campaign, Jameson demonstrated consistency as one of the more reliable pitchers on the team. His 3. 99 ERA and 1. 15 WHIP led all UF pitchers, with a perfect 5-0 record and three saves in 34 appearances. Notably, Jameson's strongest performances came in losses to Texas A&M in the College World Series... where he held the Aggies to four hits and one earned run in 7. 2 innings across two appearances, striking out eight batters.
Jameson's selection marks the 223rd individual draft selection in University of Florida history and the 108th under the tenure of head coach Kevin O'Sullivan. In O'Sullivan's 17-year tenure, "there have now been 57 pitchers drafted," "with 11 total Florida pitchers selected over 12 selections since the 2021 MLB Draft." Jameson joins fellow SEC star Charlie Condon... who was taken by the Rockies with the No. 3 overall pick in the first round.
