Analyzing the Draft by division: NL Central

Chicago Cubs

It was another year, another top 10 pick and yes, another bat, for the Cubs. That's four straight seasons they've gone with a hitter, three of them being from the college ranks. Who can blame them, with 2013 selection Kris Bryant well on his way to stardom and 2014 first-rounder Kyle Schwarber about to get his feet wet in the Majors for a week as a designated hitter during Interleague play? Cincinnati outfielder Ian Happ, who the Cubs selected at No. 9, was one of the best pure hitter in the college class this season.
