CC Sabathia, a legendary figure in Brewers history, is now experiencing a new kind of royalty as a proud father. On July 14, 2026, while traveling with a group of former players to an All-Star week event, Sabathia received a call that changed his life forever. His teammate, Rickie Weeks, informed him that his son, Carsten, had been drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round of the MLB draft.
This moment marked a full circle for Sabathia, as it connected him to his own baseball journey. The story becomes even more fascinating when we consider the presence of another Brewer legend, Prince Fielder, who was also part of the group. Fielder, like Sabathia, is now a father to a baseball player, Jadyn Fielder, who is currently playing for the Brewers' Class A affiliate, the Wilson Warbirds.
The bond between Carsten and Jadyn goes beyond their fathers' professional connections. They have been friends since they were babies, having grown up together and participated in various events. This friendship adds a layer of warmth to the story, as these young athletes navigate their careers with the support of their families.
