Finishing with a Flourish, Brewers Wrap up Draft Picking CC Sabathia's Son
The Brewers used pick No. 611 on first baseman Carsten Sabathia III, who hit .254 with 9 home runs in four college seasons.
- On Sunday, the Milwaukee Brewers selected Carsten Sabathia III with the final pick of the 2026 MLB Draft, making the 22-year-old first baseman from the University of Houston the son of Hall of Famer CC Sabathia.
- CC Sabathia's connection to Milwaukee deepened in May when the Brewers inducted him into their Wall of Honor, roughly 18 years after he pitched for the franchise before joining the New York Yankees in 2008.
- The first baseman recorded 189 at-bats across four college seasons, batting.254 with 48 hits and nine home runs, while his final Houston season showed improvement with a.283 average and.885 OPS across 37 games.
- Milwaukee drafted 20 players total, so Sabathia will have significant competition as he develops in the farm system, though he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he recalled loving the stadium atmosphere as a child.
- Roughly 18 years after CC Sabathia dazzled on the mound for Milwaukee, his son now begins his professional journey with the same franchise, marking a unique moment where the Brewers transition from honoring a legendary pitcher to developing the next generation.
