In the first round of the MLB Draft, the Chicago Cubs took Oklahoma Sooners right-handed pitcher Cade Horton with the seventh pick.
After spending the past two weeks telling you that I was 98% sure that the Cubs would take a position player, the Cubs took a pitcher that had been skyrocketing up draft boards near the end of the college baseball season.
Horton was a two-way player in high school who played third base as well as pitching. (Also he played quarterback for the football team.) He was projected to be a second-round pick out of high school, but he went undrafted because of a firm commitment to play for Oklahoma.
