Even after calling up a number of top prospects in the last couple of years, the Chicago Cubs are still considered to have above average talent in their farm system. This in mind, many did not know what to expect from the Cubs’ draft.
Here’s a quick recap. The Cubs drafted 38 players, 27 of them pitchers. Of those 27, five are southpaws. 20 of their 27 pitchers were drafted out of college, and seven out of high school.
The Cubs also drafted two catchers, three outfielders, and six infielders. The infielders consisted of three shortstops, one first baseman, one second baseman, and one-third baseman.
