## Resource

The 2026 MLB Draft exploded with star power as the Chicago White Sox stunned everyone by taking UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 pick—twice a Player of the Year and a Golden Spikes finalist. Surprisingly few pitchers were selected early, with only one in the top 10. Georgia Tech made waves as a duo—catcher Vahn Lackey (No. 3 to Twins) and outfielder Drew Burress (No. 8 to A’s)—became the 15th pair of teammates drafted in the top 10. Familiar names also surfaced: Landon Thome (son of Jim Thome) went 34th to Chicago, and Jacob Lombard (brother of George Lombard Jr.) was picked 14th by Miami. With elite talent like Cholowsky poised to dominate the minors, this draft has already set the stage for a thrilling next chapter in baseball.
