Each Texas A&M Aggies Baseball Player Drafted in Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft

As college baseball takes its annual hiatus, the best players get ready to take their skills to the next level in the Major League Baseball draft.

All 30 MLB teams take turns scouting the nation's best amateurs from both high school and college, sorting through and selecting who they believe could be the next Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge or Paul Skenes.

And there's a good chance that the name of a Texas A&M ballplayer could cross the desk of the front office management for many of these teams, as the Aggies were full of professional-level talent on the diamond in the 2026 season, and now it's time for them to make their names for themselves in the big leagues.

With UCLA infielder Roch Cholowsky being taken first overall by the Chicago White Sox, the selection of the young stars is officially under way.

Follow below for a full rundown of each Texas A&M player drafted in Day 1 of the draft, along with how they would fit in with the team that drafted them whenever they do get the call up.

Every Texas A&M Player Drafted in the 2026 MLB Draft

Chris Hacopian, Round 1, Pick 11, Washington Nationals

Step aside, Braden Montgomery. There's a new highest drafted Aggie of all-time.

The A&M second baseman was selected 11th overall by the Washington Nationals, one spot above the recently debuted Montgomery, who was drafted 12th overall by the Boston Red Sox in 2024.

The Nationals currently sit just above .500 and fourth in the National League East, seven games behind the leading Atlanta Braves.

CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia Jr. currently man the middle infield for Washington, and right fielder James Wood's bat currently has him with the sixth most homers in the league as of today, and should they all still be in the nation's capital when Hacopian makes it to the big times, Hacopian's own defensive prowess and red-hot bat will be nothing but an asset for the 2019 World Series champions.

Trey Abel, Round 1, Pick 25, Milwaukee Brewers

Texas A&M's first high school prospect went off the board with the 25th overall pick to the Milwaukee Brewers, another middle infielder in Trey Abel out of Corona High School in Corona, California.

The Brewers haven't had consistent shortstop play in quite a few seasons, at least since Orlando Arcia was on the team, and their current starter Cooper Pratt just debuted in the major leagues last month.

Milwaukee currently leads the National League Central by a comfortable seven games over the Chicago Cubs.

Caden Sorrell, Round 2, Pick 62, Chicago Cubs

And speaking of the Cubs, they just snagged the Aggies' home run leader from last season in outfielder Caden Sorrell.

Despite his talent, it will likely be a bit before Sorrell sees the major league grass as the Cubs possess quite a bit of depth in the outfield, most notably Pete Crow-Armstrong, who finished top 10 in NL MVP voting last season, as well as Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki, and Michael Conforto, all who have received All-Star honors throughout their careers.

Don't worry, though. Sorrell's time will come, and maybe we could see a Windy City rivalry between two power-hitting Aggie alumni if Braden Montgomery sticks around with the White Sox down the road.

Gavin Grahovac, Round 3, Pick 81, Los Angeles Angels

The California kid is heading back home to the West Coast.

The same team that fields one of the greatest MLB players of the generation in Mike Trout now has one of their own in their farm system.

Grahovac, who played both first and third base during his time with the Aggies, brings elite offensive production to the team after smacking 22 homers and 74 RBI in the 2026 season with the Aggies.

And for a team tied with the Kansas City Royals as the worst in the major leagues, this couldn't have come at a better time should Grahovac's production follow him all the way through the minor leagues.
