Making the switch to the SEC in 2026 for his junior season, Hacopian showed his bat is the real deal, slashing .319/.405/.578 with a .983 OPS. His 60-grade hit tool signifies a player who could be ready to produce at the major league level sooner rather than later. The Angels have shown a desire to select MLB-ready players in recent drafts, and taking Hacopian at No. 12 keeps that pattern going.
