Summary
The 2026 MLB Draft kicks off with the Chicago White Sox selecting UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky first overall, followed by Tampa Bay’s Grady Emerson and Minnesota’s catcher Vahn Lackey. Five elite teams—Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Blue Jays, and Dodgers—saw their top picks delayed due to luxury tax overages, reshaping the draft order. With 25 picks in Round 1 and more talent to come over two days, scouts spotlight rising stars from college and high school ranks. The Pirates gain a second-round compensatory pick, and early selections could define franchise futures for years to come.
