What happened: The St. Louis Cardinals selected outfielder Andrew Williamson with the 68th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The pick came on day two, adding to a St. Louis draft class that already includes first-rounder Trevor Condon.

Why it matters: St. Louis is building out its farm system while the big-league club sits at 49-44, currently on a one-game winning streak. Adding outfield talent in the middle rounds gives the organization more depth options behind an offense averaging 4.5 runs a game this season.

What to watch: Williamson now awaits contract terms and an assignment into the Cardinals' minor league system as the draft continues.
