Ethan Conrad gets promoted

Ethan Conrad was a first-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in the 2025 MLB draft, selected 17th overall. He's been in the Arizona Complex League and Low-A Myrtle Beach for all of 2026, and has posted a .815 OPS over 34 games and 127 at-bats.

The Cubs are now promoting Conrad to High-A South Bend, making that team even more exciting to watch. Conrad is the No. 3 prospect in the Cubs organization.
