## Resource

The 2026 MLB Draft’s No. 1 pick, Roch Cholowsky, is sidelined with wrist soreness and likely done for the season—following a troubling trend where every first overall pick since 2020 has rushed straight into pro play. Once a UCLA standout, Cholowsky’s shaky start (.167/.300/.400 in nine games) may be tied to his injury and the steep transition to professional baseball. Meanwhile, other top picks are carving out their paths: Eli Willits (Nationals) is crushing it in Single-A, Travis Bazzana (Guardians) earned All-Star honors in High-A, while Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes and Henry Davis show flashes of brilliance—Skenes’ dominance fading, Davis’ defense solid but offense still developing. And in Baltimore, Jackson Holliday continues his injury-riddled journey, hoping this year finally unlocks his full potential after years of setbacks.
