No. 1 Draft prospect caps big week with 4th multi-HR game of season

It’s good to be Roch Cholowsky these days.

A few weeks after notching a multihomer game on his 21st birthday, the UCLA phenom launched a pair of home runs in the Bruins’ 9-6 loss to Sacramento State on Sunday.

Cholowsky -- the top prospect in the 2026 MLB Draft, per MLB Pipeline -- ripped a line-drive shot that cleared the wall in left field for his first homer of the game in the fifth inning.

Then, in his next at-bat, he drove a three-run shot out to left-center field, cutting Sacramento State’s lead in half.

The latest barrage marked Cholowsky’s fourth multi-homer game of the season. He’s slugged three home runs in his last two games and four in the past week.

Through 43 games, Cholowsky is hitting .325 with 17 homers and 49 RBIs while playing stellar defense at shortstop, too. He’s displaying the same sort of elite power that he featured throughout his sophomore season, when he demolished 23 home runs.
