With MIT in his sophomore season, Estrada finished with NEWMAC First Team All-Conference, ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Team: Region 1 First Team, and D3baseball.com All-Region Region 1 First Team after going 6-0 with 66 strikeouts and a 2.21 ERA over 40.2 innings pitched. [2].

Estrada had initially transferred to the Tennessee Volunteers while also being a rising prospect for the 2025 MLB draft. MLB mentions Estrada getting a 36 superscore on the ACT, while catching the attention of scouts when showing a consistent fastball at 94-96 mph while on a big league mound with all eyes on him. Also Estrada was throwing mid 80s sliders/cutters that registered as high as 2700 RPMs.[3].

Estrada was drafted in the 7th round, 225th pick in the 2025 MLB draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Estrada is now the fifth MIT baseball student-athlete to be selected in the MLB Draft. [4][5].
