Chicago Cubs Mock Draft
Major League Baseball Mock Draft • 2026 Season
Chicago Cubs Draft Analysis
The Chicago Cubs enter the draft with clear positional needs, particularly in the infield and pitching staff. With a roster that features a mix of established veterans and promising young talent, adding a future cornerstone player at shortstop or a top-tier pitcher could significantly bolster their competitiveness in the NL Central. The Cubs are also aiming to enhance their farm system, which means targeting high-upside prospects who can develop into long-term contributors.
Roch Cholowsky from UCLA stands out as the ideal fit for the Cubs as he embodies all-around excellence at shortstop, bringing both defensive prowess and a strong offensive profile that could solidify the infield for years. Another intriguing option is Justin Lebron, whose elite bat could complement the Cubs’ lineup and offer immediate offensive impact. Lastly, Liam Peterson, as the top college pitcher, could provide the Cubs with a much-needed front-line starter to bolster their rotation and add depth to the pitching ranks.
