Summary
The 2026 MLB Draft looms large, set for July 11-12 in Philly, where pivotal picks could reshape team futures. With the Astros holding the 17th pick and a historically weak farm system, they’re prioritizing pitching—potentially selecting right-hander Liam Peterson from Florida. Peterson’s 111 Ks in 84 innings make him a first-round-worthy arm, even if he fell short of All-American hype. With top hitters off the board, Houston may finally pivot from hitter-heavy drafts to build a stronger rotation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
