2026 Draft First Round

1. Phoenix - 3B Manuel Salas. He has great raw power, a good batting eye, and a strong arm. If he doesn't have enough range to stick at third, he could end up at first.

2. Alaska - SS Anibal Solo. Solo is a 5-tool shortstop. He should do more than stick at the position, he could win some gold gloves there.

3. Los Angeles - OF LaMelo Solo. For the second time in 3 years, two jawas go in the first 3 picks of the draft. Solo has power and speed and should stick in center field. 

4. Portland - SS Bobby Milligan. Bobby has massive raw power, hitting 25 homers in 43 high school games. He speed is average at best, but he has a great arm. He did not pitch in high school games but in tryouts looks good on the mound. He is potentially a two-way player, though the Decepticons might prefer he concentrate on hitting.

5. Cleveland - SS Armando Hernandez. A solid defensive shortstop with a great eye at the plate. The first college player off the board, he took 109 walks in 79 games at Georgia Tech, also hitting 19 homers. Average speed.

6. Florida - OF Ernesto Rivera. Good defensive outfielder with power and an exceptional feel for hitting. Unlike other Penguin outfielders, he bats from the right side.

7. NY Knights - SS Leonardo Garcia. Wichita State shortstop with great raw power and patience. He has above average speed and glove, but might struggle making contact.

8. Utah - OF Jackson Cheerio. Good all-around skills, will likely move to an outfield corner.

9. Miami - SS Brian Dumbledore. A two sport star at Hogwarts, he played both baseball and quidditch. He's an undersized shortstop without great speed but has great command of the strike zone and more power than you expect from his short stature. 

10. Detroit - P Kayce Dutton-Davis. Son of long-time minor league catcher Crash Davis, Crash raised his family on a Montana Ranch after his playing days. Kayce's best pitch is a splitter which is already good enough to fool big league hitters. He should be up as soon as he is able to command his pitches.

11. Green Day - C Miguel Ortega. The Notre Dame catcher is a 3 true outcome freak, with 31 homers, 129 walks, and 143 strikeouts in just 82 games. His catching skills are solid but his arm is below average.

12. Springfield - P Grayson Brooks. His velocity is not at the level of his father, Bryan, but he has a standard 4 pitch mix and should move through the minors quickly.

13. Chicago - 1B Jorge Rivera. An exceptional line drive hitter. His power is average but he runs very well for a first baseman.

14. Hawaii - 2B Claudio Cano. A talented hitter with a great eye for the strike zone. His speed and range are average at best and his arm is below average.

15. Hollywood - SS Paul Dawson. The best defensive shortstop in the draft class, he has exceptional range, hands, and arm. Potentially an average hitter but he is a bit of a project there.

16. Toronto - P Antonio Angel. The lefty from Texas Tech has a mid 90s fastball and above average slider and change. He holds runners well and has enough stamina to last deep into games. He throws strikes.

17. Orlando P Domingo Alonzo. Right hander with an upper 90s fastball and plus curve. He may need to develop an offspeed pitch to stay in the rotation.
