"What isn't there to like about Roch Cholowsky? He was the National Player of the Year as a sophomore, as he smashed 23 homers for UCLA while leading the team to the College World Series. He is above average when it comes to hitting for average, hitting for power, arm strength, and defense. Some scouts are calling him the best college shortstop prospect since Troy Tulowitzki. As of now, it looks like it will be tough for anyone else to challenge for number 1."
"This class is loaded with shortstops in the top 30 prospects, including the top 3 on the board in Cholowsky, Grady Emerson, and Justin Lebron. Emerson has advanced skills for his age and a smooth stroke from the left side. Lebron has well above average power from the right side and has seen his stock rise quickly while at Alabama. Check out the top shortstop prospects for this year's draft."
"Top Pitchers for 2026 While the top of the draft is dominated by shortstops, there are some great arms and pitching prospects in the top 30 that will see their names called early. Caroson Bolemon is a lefty with an incredibly high ceiling. He is 6'4″ and can reach up to 96 miles per hour. Gio Rojas, another lefty, can run it up to 98 miles per hour."
The White Sox hold the top pick in the 2026 MLB Draft and appear likely to select UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky. Cholowsky was 2025 National Player of the Year as a sophomore, hitting 23 homers while leading UCLA to the College World Series. He shows above-average hitting for average, power, arm strength, and defense, with elite instincts despite average speed. The draft class is rich in shortstops including Grady Emerson and Justin Lebron; Emerson is a polished left-handed hitter, Lebron is a power right-hander from Alabama. Top arms include lefties Caroson Bolemon (6'4", up to 96 mph) and Gio Rojas (up to 98 mph).
