Overview
- The Milwaukee Brewers used their 20th‑round pick to select University of Houston outfielder Carsten Sabathia III.
- Sabathia is a 6‑foot‑4, 245‑pound right‑handed hitter who played at Georgia Tech before transferring to Houston.
- He showed notable raw power at the MLB Draft Combine, putting seven batted balls at 104.9 mph or higher.
- After limited early college playing time he improved in 2026, hitting about .280 with six home runs and a higher slugging percentage.
- The choice is viewed as a late‑round, long‑term project likely to fit at first base or as a designated hitter and will depend on whether he signs and his minor‑league assignment; it also echoes the club’s interest in legacy players following Jadyn Fielder’s arrival.
