This is the beginning of a three-part analysis of Chicago’s college picks from the 2023 draft. Starting up top with the most promising players, we’ll take a look at Jacob González, Grant Taylor, Seth Keener, Calvin Harris and Lucas Gordon in this edition.
Rick Hahn and Mike Shirley stayed in the Power 5 conferences with two left-handed hitting, national championship-winning teammates from Ole Miss in Jacob González and Calvin Harris in Rounds 1 and 4. Sandwiched in-between them was LSU RHP Grant Taylor in the second round (coming off of his own national championship in 2023), and RHP Seth Keener, who also played in Omaha last month, on the nation’s best overall pitching staff.
