Cubs select Nebraska right-hander Carson Jasa in the third round

The Chicago Cubs selected Nebraska right-handed pitcher Carson Jasa in the third round of the 2026 MLB Draft on July 11. Jasa, a tall 6'7” pitcher, has significant potential but has struggled with command throughout his collegiate career. After missing the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, he regained his footing in 2025, moving into the starting rotation with notable success, achieving a 10-2 record and a 3.59 ERA in 16 starts. The Cubs aim to refine Jasa's skills further, particularly his ability to locate pitches, as they have had success in improving similar pitchers in the past.
