This is the beginning of a series on “who’s most likely to” about the Cubs 2019 draft picks. To start, here’s a look at UCLA second baseman Chase Strumpf, most likely to be a five wins-above player for his Cubs career. The short explanation on why it's Strumpf is because he's the first hitter drafted in the draft. Hitters are easier and safer to develop than pitchers, so it's very plausible that Strumpf will be a potential regular at the big-league level. However, he’s more likely than the others for more than a simple event of convenience.
