What happened: The St. Louis Cardinals selected left-handed pitcher Luke Harrison with the 234th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The pick continues a busy draft for St. Louis, which has already added shortstops Rocco Maniscalco and Owen Henne, right-hander Cal Randall and outfielder Trevor Condon in earlier rounds.

Why it matters: St. Louis has spent this draft stacking pitching and infield depth across the top rounds, and Harrison's selection extends that pattern into the mid-to-late rounds. The Cardinals enter the pick at 44-41 on the season, currently riding a two-game winning streak.

What to watch: St. Louis continues making selections as the 2026 MLB Draft proceeds through its remaining rounds.
