The Chicago Cubs named Jason McLeod the Senior Vice President of Player Personnel, a step up from his previous role in the organization. He was in charge of overseeing amateur scouting and player development, but he will still keep the same type of skill set that he did with his previous job.
McLeod has drafted very well, especially hitters–and college hitters, at that. He had a hand in Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner. The one thing he has not done is to develop homegrown pitching. Adbert Alzolay and Braylin Marquez are coming up, but it is TBD if those guys are successful at the major league level.
