Cubs Got Power Hitter at 62 | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs pulled off a draft-day steal with Caden Sorrell, a Texas A&M outfielder picked 62nd overall—far below his projected first or early second-round status. Despite a swing that chases pitches and a strikeout rate hovering around 23%, Sorrell packs elite power, elite exit velocity, and proven SEC production. His injury history and swing mechanics made him a risky target, but the Cubs saw the upside: a potential Adolis Garcia or Jo Adell-type hitter with serious tools and room to grow. With outfield needs pressing and a track record of developing high-upside, high-strikeout talent, Sorrell’s late fall makes him the most valuable steal in this year’s draft.
