Good. Hate that the first day is just Round 1. Especially with how much of a crapshoot the MLB Draft is.

So the Friday night starter at my undergrad school had 18 Ks and the Friday night starter at my grad school had 17 Ks tonight.

23. Cubs — Logan Reddemann, RHP, UCLA

Bonus Pool: $9,644,100

Slot Value: $3,947,600

Reddemann has been one of the most consistent starters in college baseball and is coming off an 18-strikeout game against Rutgers. He owns a 2.85 ERA over nine starts and 53.2 innings, and his 33.6 K-BB% is second in the country behind only Oregon State righthander Dax Whitney. He’s averaging 94.8 mph on his fastball (+2 mph from 2025) and has some of the best control and command in the class.

I've done that draft simulator a few times now and Tyler Bell has fallen to the Cubs every time. Sure hope that happens in real life

Is he the clearest #1 pick since Harper?
