Roch Cholowsky - Prospect Profile

Jim Callis - MLB - September 16th: "Cholowsky drew first-round interest out of high school but wasn't signable away from the Bruins, for whom he slashed .353/.480/.710 with 23 homers last spring. A no-doubt shortstop with four plus tools, average speed and a high baseball IQ, he might be the most well-rounded college player at his position since Troy Tulowitzki in 2005."

Joel Reuter - Bleacher Report - August 20th: "After a strong freshman season at UCLA, Cholowsky put together a huge sophomore campaign to vault to the top of the 2026 draft picture, hitting .353./.480/.710 with 23 home runs, 74 RBI and more walks (45) than strikeouts (30). He is also a standout defender at shortstop with great instincts and a high baseball IQ, checking all the boxes to be a franchise cornerstone at a premium position."

Jonathan Mayo - MLB - July 17th: "A true No. 1 overall pick candidate, Cholowsky is a major contributor on both sides of the ball. He's an outstanding defender at shortstop and took a huge step forward at the plate during an All-American sophomore season in which he compiled a slash line of .353/.480/.710 with 23 homers for the Bruins."

Baseball America - July 16th: "Cholowsky has a simple setup in the box and a smooth, rhythmic swing that includes a noticeable barrel tip. He has an advanced feel to hit to go along with a professional approach and sound pitch recognition skills. Cholowsky is consistently on the barrel, and this year he grew into far more impact."
