The MLB season is back, April begins tomorrow, and summer will arrive before you know it. Let’s close March with a 2026 MLB Mock Draft.
2026 MLB Mock Draft Sees SS Go 1, 2, 3
Roch Cholowsky still sits on top of our latest MLB Mock Draft, and he is followed by talented high school shortstop Grady Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron. Cholowsky is hitting .350 with 10 homers in 27 games and an impressive OPS of 1.223, so we can understand that the White Sox would be quick to pull the trigger on the UCLA superstar. Take a look at the first round for this year’s draft.

Lebron Goes No. 3
(Lebron is one of several talented shortstops in this draft.

In 2026, Lebron has smashed 11 homers in 29 games, and he has 27 RBI. More impressively, he is 23/23 on stolen bases and has passed his total of 17 in 59 games last season. There have been questions about his discipline at the plate since he has chased pitches out of the zone in the past. He had 68 strikeouts to 35 walks last season. In 2026, he has been much more disciplined with a ratio of 23 strikeouts to 18 walks. In the field, Lebron has a great arm and can make all the plays.
Ace Reese Lands at No. 6
Ace Reese is the top third baseman in the class, and the lefty hitter projects as a legitimate power hitter for whoever scoops him up this year. There are questions about where he will play on defense at the next level, but his bat shouldn’t be a problem. Reese smashed 21 homers last season while hitting .352 for Mississippi State. In 2026, he is hitting .330 with 8 homers, 12 doubles, and 37 RBI. He’s good against both lefties and righties, plus he has power to all fields.
Drew Burress is First OF Taken
(Burress played in the Cape Cod League in 2024.

Burress hit 19 homers last season, and while he’s smaller (5’9″), scouts love his arm, power, and how good an athlete he is. Burress had 10 outfield assists in 2024. The outfielder hasn’t been as great at the plate this season, but we are just around the halfway point of the regular season. Burress is hitting .287 with 9 doubles, 2 triples, 5 homers, and 20 RBI. He continues to show he can get on base with 25 walks compared to 21 strikeouts.
