## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals made a splash in the 2026 MLB Draft with the 13th overall pick on Trevor Condon — a lefty hitter with elite speed and power, drawing comparisons to Pete Crow-Armstrong. Hitting over .500 with 9 homers and 15 steals in high school, Condon’s raw tools are undeniable, though scouts note he needs to elevate his contact rate to unlock more power. A committed Tennessee recruit, his speed and center field arm make him a versatile asset. Scouts see him as the top blend of hitting and speed in this year’s high school class — and the Cardinals are betting big on his development.
