Cubs Bet on Power with Myles Bailey at 75th in the 2026 MLB Draft
The Chicago Cubs selected Florida State 1B Myles Bailey with the 75th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, betting on his elite raw power despite injury history and concerns about his hit tool and strikeout rate. Bailey posted eye-popping college power and a strong left-handed swing, but scouts note questions about how well his power and approach will translate to the pro game, where he’s likely headed to first base after showcasing his defensive versatility.
