Overview

  • Carsten Sabathia III signed his first pro contract with the Milwaukee Brewers after being selected in the 20th round of the 2026 MLB draft.
  • The younger Sabathia, who hit .283 with six home runs for the University of Houston last season, also played in the MLB Draft League with the Trenton Thunder before the draft.
  • Photographs of the signing show Carsten in Brewers gear and his father CC Sabathia celebrated the moment publicly on X, calling it his “Best Birthday ever.”
  • The contract was completed in July 2026 and no initial minor-league assignment has been announced by the Brewers.
  • The move draws on a family and franchise connection: CC Sabathia starred for Milwaukee in 2008 and was added to the Brewers’ Wall of Honor this year, and the signing is likely to start Carsten in the lower levels of the club’s farm system as he begins his pro development.
