Chris Hacopian

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #10 prospect in 2026 draft
  School:Texas A&M Age At Draft: 21.8
  
  Drafted: Never Drafted
  
  Hacopian has one of the more impressive offensive track records of any hitter in his class. He’s hit at every stop—including summer ball—and is fresh off a career year in which he hit .375/.502/.656 with 12 doubles, 14 home runs, 61 RBIs and an eye-popping walk-to-strikeout ratio of 40-to-19. Hacopian has a strong swing with big-time bat speed and has shown the ability to use the entire field, though his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side. He particularly feasts on heaters, and this spring he ran a 95% contact rate against all fastballs. Hacopian ran an overall chase rate of just 20%, and very few of his swings came outside of the “shadow zone.” A move back to third base isn’t out of the question for Hacopian, but regardless of where he ends up on the diamond, you are buying his bat.
• Ranked #14 prospect in 2026 draft
  School: Texas A&M Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.8
  
  Hacopian has one of the most impressive offensive track records in the 2026 class. He’s a .347/.465/.614 hitter in two seasons with Maryland, including 29 home runs and 22 doubles, and also has a few summers of solid wood bat production—most notably in the New England Collegiate League in 2024. Hacopian transferred to Texas A&M after the season and could give the Aggies a pair of first-round bats along with third baseman Gavin Grahovac. At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, Hacopian is physically mature with broad shoulders and a powerful swing that comes with a big leg kick and a notable barrel tip in his load. Despite the moving parts, Hacopian makes a ton of contact—he almost never misses a fastball—and yanks plenty of balls over the fence to his pull side. He knows the zone, minimizes his strikeouts and has consistently walked more often than he’s whiffed. A shortstop now, Hacopian is likely to slide to third base in pro ball and is a below-average runner.
