Ariston Veasey has officially signed with the Chicago Cubs following the 2026 MLB Draft, where he was selected in the 11th round as the 337th overall pick. Veasey transitioned to the Cubs after a successful single season with Clemson, where he became a key reliever, recording a 3.29 ERA and striking out 37 batters over 25.1 innings pitched.
