Drew Burress, the eighth overall pick in the 2026 Draft, crushed his first pro home run on the second pitch of his debut at Single-A Stockton, sending a message that his power is real and ready for the big leagues. With a college career defined by explosive power—nine homers in his first eight games and a school record 60 career blasts—Burress brings elite tools and a disciplined approach to hitting. He credits his college coaches for teaching him to adapt his game plan to each pitcher’s strengths, focusing on hitting the ball hard and in the air. The A’s are already watching closely, having fast-tracked other top picks, and Burress believes the organization will move him up if he keeps performing. His path to the majors could be swift—and he’s ready to make the most of it.
