Scouting the 2026 MLB Amateur Draft: Roch Cholowsky

There can be a lot of downtime between Hot Stove League events.  To fill it, let's get started on building our 2026 MLB Amateur Draft board.  The draft order won't be finalized until after the draft lottery at the Winter MeetingsThe Giants most likely will draft at #15. There is a consensus #1 draft prospect for 2026, UCLA SS Roch Cholowsky.  

Roch Cholowsky SS, College(UCLA):  DOB:  4/5/2005.  B-R, T-R.  6' 2", 200 lbs.  

2024(UCLA):  .308/.399/.500, 8 HR, 6 SB, 24 BB, 34 K, 235 PA
2024(CCBL):  .218/.338/.327, HR, 9 BB, 7 K's, 65 PA.
2025(UCLA):  .353/.480/.710, 23 HR, 7 SB, 45 BB, 30 K, 324 PA.

Complete 5-tool player who is considered a lock to stick at shortstop.  Compact yet powerful swing producing power to all fields.  Able to pull arms in to get around on inside pitches.  Selective at the plate but limits K's.  Barring an unexpected junior season regression has little to no chance of dropping if the Giants remain in the #15 draft slot.
