The Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks will meet up for another spring training matchup, which will have a fun little twist to it, with Craig Counsell’s son Brady on the Diamondbacks gameday roster.

According to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, Brady will have his first professional at-bat today after being a 10th-round draft pick of the Diamondbacks in 2025, and got the scoop on his dad, telling his mom of the news before him. Counsell said to Rogers about seeing his son’s first professional at-bat on Thursday, “I’ll close my eyes and watch the video later.”

Counsell (Brady) did not appear in the minor leagues after getting drafted last season and did not compete in the Arizona Fall League. In four seasons in college, Counsell batted .255 with a .786 OPS and 28 home runs in 196 games.

Counsell spent his final season in college with the Kansas Jayhawks (University of Kansas), and had a down year from the season prior with the Minnesota Golden Gophers (.287 average, .905 OPS) — batting .259 with an OPS of .851 and 12 home runs. Counsell will likely start his season in the lower levels of the minor leagues to help continue his development.
