The Chicago Cubs finished up the 2019 MLB Draft with 40 picks over three days. Now the hard work begins. The front office has to sign these players. The coaching staff has to mold these players into major leaguers. And the players themselves have to put in the hours necessary to succeed at this terribly difficult sport.
The Cubs selected 22 pitchers of the 40 picks, which certainly indicates a plan by the front office to develop more pitching through the minor league system. Of those 22 pitchers, there were 18 right-handers and four left-handers.
