We’re now almost a full year removed from the 2017 draft, in which the Cubs selected 41 players and signed 29 of them. And even though it’s hard to get a good feel for a class until you’ve seen its members play for at least two or three years, it’s still worthwhile to check in on how this most recent group is doing.
A couple of young pitchers have yet to debut this year, while three prospects are all the way up to high-A Myrtle Beach. A large portion of the draftees (13) are at South Bend and the rest will likely play for Eugene this summer or fill in at South Bend within the next month.
