Oakland Athletics Mock Draft
Major League Baseball Mock Draft • 2026 Season
Oakland Athletics Draft Analysis
The Oakland Athletics enter this draft looking to bolster their farm system with a focus on infield depth and potential impact bats. With a roster that has seen significant turnover and a major league team struggling to generate consistent offensive production, identifying players who can contribute both defensively and at the plate is essential. The A's need a blend of high-ceiling prospects and safe bets to accelerate their rebuilding process, particularly at shortstop where they lack a clear long-term answer.
Roch Cholowsky from UCLA is an ideal fit for the Athletics, as he brings a complete skill set and the defensive prowess expected from a top-tier shortstop. His ability to hit for average and power, combined with his advanced fielding skills, provides immediate value and potential long-term stability at a key position. Additionally, considering the A's interest in high-upside talent, Grady Emerson from Prosper HS (TX) could also be a target; his elite athleticism and offensive potential make him a compelling option as a future franchise player.
