Brewers Draft Texas State's Home Run King Chase Mora as a Pitcher

The Milwaukee Brewers made an unconventional selection in the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft, picking Chase Mora from Texas State University. Mora, well-known for holding the all-time home run record at his collegiate program, was drafted by the Brewers with the intention of transitioning him to a pitching role.

This strategic shift indicates a belief within the Brewers' scouting department that Mora possesses untapped potential on the mound, despite his established offensive prowess. His record-setting power at the plate suggests a strong athletic foundation that could translate to success in a new baseball discipline.

In related news from Texas State's program, the Houston Astros also made a selection, choosing Bobcats catcher Rashawn Galloway. This marks another player from the Texas State roster finding a professional home in the draft.
