No matter how hard Buster Posey pushes, Roch Cholowsky almost certainly won’t be playing his big league ball by the Bay.
The UCLA shortstop is widely expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB draft in July, though there is some emerging debate on that as prep shortstop Grady Emerson makes a late push. The Giants hold the fourth pick in the draft, and the word around MLB suggests Posey is enamored with Cholowsky and is attempting to maneuver things so that he can draft the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year.
