In the second round of the MLB Draft, the Cubs selected pitcher Burl Carraway.

An overpowering left-handed reliever who could make an impact on a big league bullpen sooner rather than later? Yeah, I think Cubs fans can get behind the team’s second-round pick, Burl Carraway and what he brings to the table.

The 6’0″ southpaw features a plus fastball and curveball – and could ascend prospect rankings list quickly. MLB Pipeline pegged him as the 49th-ranked prospect in the 2020 MLB Draft – and it’s pretty easy to see why.
