Summary
- Carsten Sabathia III was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round.

- The Brewers selected CC's son with their final pick in the 2026 MLB Draft.
The Milwaukee Brewers have drafted Carsten Sabathia III, son of MLB Hall of Famer CC Sabathia, in the 20th round of the 2026 MLB Draft. This selection, made with the team's final pick, serves as a nod to CC Sabathia, who had a memorable late-season stint with the Brewers during his illustrious career. Carsten III, an infielder standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 245 pounds, played his collegiate baseball at the University of Houston. During his final college season in 2026, he batted .280 with three doubles and six home runs, posting a .511 slugging percentage and an .885 OPS.
While his draft round suggests MLB teams see limited long-term potential, with projections leaning towards a designated hitter or first baseman role, his strong lineage and the guidance of his father may prove beneficial. Carsten III's selection represents a potential late-round gem for the Brewers, banking on his pedigree and mentorship to develop into a surprise contributor.
