What happened: The Chicago Cubs selected outfielder Caden Sorrell with the 62nd overall pick, the second round of the 2026 MLB Draft. Sorrell played college baseball at Texas A&M.

Why it matters: Scouts have praised Sorrell's athleticism while flagging swing-and-miss concerns in his profile, according to @KendallRogers. The selection adds outfield depth to Chicago's system as the front office continues evaluating the roster ahead of the trade deadline.

What to watch: Sorrell moves into the Cubs' minor-league pipeline as Chicago continues making selections through the remainder of the 2026 draft.
