- Condon praised for hitting skills and elite speed.

In the 2026 MLB Draft, the St. Louis Cardinals selected Trevor Condon as the 13th overall pick on July 11th. Condon, ranked 13th by MLB Pipeline, is noted for his left-handed hitting, keen eye at the plate, and outstanding speed. Scouts see a potential comparison to Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Despite generating high exit velocities, Condon has shown a tendency to struggle with hitting fly balls, impacting his slugging percentage. However, evaluators believe he can develop average power as a professional. His speed is a significant asset, creating opportunities on the basepaths and in center field, where he also possesses a solid arm.
Condon's achievements this past season include being named the Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year. Playing for Etowah High School, he posted impressive statistics in 36 games, hitting .504 with nine home runs, 42 RBIs, and 15 stolen bases. He is committed to the University of Tennessee.
