Key College Athletes Return to Teams After 2026 MLB Draft
重點大學運動員在 2026 年 MLB 選秀後返回球隊
Introduction
Two top student-athletes from Florida college baseball programs will return to their universities after they were not selected in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft.
兩名來自佛羅里達州大學棒球隊的頂尖學生運動員，在 2026 年大聯盟（MLB）選秀中未被選中後，將返回原就讀大學。
Main Body
Florida State University (FSU) will keep right-handed pitcher John Abraham, who showed great improvement during the 2026 season. Abraham achieved a 1.91 ERA over 47.0 innings and recorded 58 strikeouts. His progress has been steady, moving from a 4.72 ERA as a freshman to becoming an All-American in 2026. Consequently, the team plans to move Abraham from a relief role to the starting rotation for the 2027 season.
佛羅里達州立大學（FSU）將留任右投手 John Abraham，他在 2026 年賽季表現出顯著的進步。Abraham 在 47 局中取得了 1.91 的防禦率，並記錄 58 次三振。他的進步十分穩健，從大一時的 4.72 防禦率，成長為 2026 年的全美最佳球員（All-American）。因此，球隊計劃在 2027 年賽季將 Abraham 從救援投手調整為先發輪候。
Meanwhile, the University of Florida has confirmed that infielder Ethan Surowiec will return. Surowiec played in all 62 games in 2026, where he led the team in hits (78), batting average (.317), and RBI (63). He is eligible to play again due to the 'five-for-five' rule. Before joining Florida, Surowiec played in the Northwoods League, where he was named MVP. Furthermore, he recently renewed his NIL financial agreement with Florida Victorious in late June.
同時，佛羅里達大學已確認內野手 Ethan Surowiec 將返回。Surowiec 在 2026 年參加了全部 62 場比賽，並在安打數（78 次）、打擊率（.317）及打點數（63 次）方面領先全隊。根據「五對五」規則，他具備再次參賽的資格。在加入佛羅里達大學前，Surowiec 在 Northwoods 聯盟效力並被命名為 MVP。此外，他在 6 月底與 Florida Victorious 續簽了 NIL 商業協議。
Conclusion
Both FSU and the University of Florida have kept high-impact players, which helps stabilize their rosters for the next academic year.
FSU 與佛羅里達大學均留住了具有高影響力的球員，有助於穩定他們下個學年的陣容。
Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The "Logical Glue" Upgrade
At the A2 level, sentences are usually short and separated by dots. To reach B2, you must stop writing like a list and start writing like a web. We do this using Connectors (Logical Glue).
Look at these three gems from the text:
-
"Consequently" The result of something.
- A2 style: He played well. He is now a starter.
- B2 style: He showed great improvement; consequently, the team plans to move him to the starting rotation.
-
"Meanwhile" Something happening at the same time, but in a different place/context.
- A2 style: FSU kept a player. Florida also kept a player.
- B2 style: FSU will keep John Abraham. Meanwhile, the University of Florida has confirmed that Ethan Surowiec will return.

💡 Pro Tip for your Transition
Instead of using "And" or "But" every time, try these swaps:
| Avoid this (A2) | Try this (B2) | Use it when... |
|---|---|---|
| So | Consequently | You want to sound more professional. |
| Also | Furthermore | You are adding a strong point. |
| At the same time | Meanwhile | You are switching focus to another person/thing. |
