Houston Astros Mock Draft
Major League Baseball Mock Draft • 2026 Season
Houston Astros Draft Analysis
As the Houston Astros approach the draft, their primary needs revolve around infusing youth into the middle infield and bolstering their pitching depth. With the aging core of their infield, particularly with questions surrounding the long-term viability of players like Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve, targeting a dynamic shortstop or third baseman could provide vital support. Additionally, with their pitching staff facing potential turnover, having a top-tier arm could help maintain their competitive edge in the American League.
Roch Cholowsky from UCLA presents a compelling option at shortstop, offering elite all-around tools and the ability to step in immediately, making him a perfect fit to revitalize the infield. Another intriguing prospect is Liam Peterson from Stanford, who could address the Astros' pitching needs, as he possesses the potential to develop into a solid SP2 in their rotation. Lastly, Cameron Reese, with his power potential and strong SEC production, could provide an exciting offensive boost at third base, allowing the Astros to explore trade options for veterans while securing a powerful bat for the future.
