A Draft Preview: Two Weeks Away and the Cubs Top Pick is a Mystery

There are still two weeks left to the draft and with the College World Series and State High School Championships in play, some players could sill move up or down based on performance or injury. In the past week, Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, Through the Fence, and several others web sites have come out with their own mock drafts. I will not be so bold. But what I will do is select a few players for each spot in the first five rounds.

Round 1

Round 2 Round 3 Round 4

Jacob Nix Rhett Wiseman Isiah Gilliam Justin Jacome

Kyle Tucker

Luken Baker Mac Marshall Steven Duggar Kyle Twomey

These three picks exemplify what the Cubs are looking for in players in the draft.
