## Resource

Roch Cholowsky, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, is poised to shatter signing bonus records with a $10.35M deal from the Chicago White Sox—breaking the previous mark by over a million. A two-time Big Ten Player of the Year and Golden Spikes finalist, Cholowsky dominated at UCLA with 20+ homers and 60+ RBIs last season. While fans are buzzing for his debut, the White Sox are likely to let him develop slowly, following the pattern of recent top picks who played just a handful of games—or innings—in their draft year. For now, the anticipation is electric as Sox fans await his first steps in the minor leagues. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
