Player-by-player

Pick 5 · Derek Curiel — OF, LSU

Pittsburgh Pirates took Derek Curiel, an outfielder out of LSU, with the No. 5 overall pick of the 2026 MLB Draft. He arrives with a full college track record, which usually means a shorter runway to full-season ball than a prep pick.

Baltimore Orioles took Eric Booth Jr., an outfielder out of Oak Grove HS (MS), with the No. 7 overall pick of the 2026 MLB Draft. He's a prep-to-pro pick — the longest runway to the majors in this class, and historically the profile that rewards early, patient card collecting the most.

FAQ

When was the 2026 MLB Draft?

July 11–12, 2026, in Philadelphia as part of All-Star Weekend. The first round (plus Competitive Balance Round A) went on Day 1; rounds 2–20 followed on Day 2.

Do MLB draft picks have rookie cards right away?

Not in the traditional sense. A drafted player's first cards are usually amateur-era products (Panini Stars & Stripes, Leaf college-showcase lines) issued before the draft. His official pro "rookie card" doesn't exist until he signs and Bowman, Topps, or Panini issues a farm-system release — typically months later.

Are Panini Stars & Stripes and Leaf cards worth collecting for draft picks?

They're the earliest entry point into a player's hobby history, which is exactly why prep-to-pro shortstops and top college arms tend to hold long-term interest — but they're speculative by nature. Treat them as a low-cost way to get in early, not a guaranteed hit.

What exactly is the 2026 Panini Prizm Stars & Stripes Factory Set?
