    I'm going with $1.6 million for Hartshorn because Kiley McDaniel was consistently mocking Hartshorn to the Cubs second round pick (he clearly had good intel) and slot for their second rounder was $1.68 million.

    @Brock Beauchamp Can you add Kaleb Wing and Josiah Hartshorn?

    Wow, Kiley McDaniel really liked the Cubs draft: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45709418/mlb-draft-2025-kiley-mcdaniel-recap-analysis-all-30-teams#chc

    Hartshorn had a really good workout at Wrigley. Also sounds like some of the pitchers who pitched in summer leagues right before the draft might be able to get some minor league innings this year itself because they didn't ramp down from their college season (I know Noah Edders pitched in a summer draft league).
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yes, completely agree. It doesn't even go for just injured prospects. There's some expectation the Cubs can help Reid coax a bit more velocity and improve his slider/breaking pitch. There's a biomechanics component that goes into the Cubs (and other team's) draft models which can help them notice guys who they feel they can help improve.

    My wife is a South Carolina alum and she told me there was a falling out between South Carolina coaches and Jerzembeck because the coaches tried to have him rush back from Tommy John, which he felt eventually led to the stress reaction. That was the main reason for him hitting the transfer portal. Given the two surgeries in consecutive years, I wonder if he wasn't sure he'd get drafted this year. If he pitched next season in college, that's great but even otherwise, another, friendlier program would allow him to rehab and do bullpen sessions for MLB teams before the 2026 draft.

    Juan Tomás hit his first pro HR today

    I get the desire to compare them but Kepley had better in-game power than Bateman their junior years in college. Bateman had less slug (.408 vs. .444) and iso (.052 vs .153) while Bateman played in the UCLA/Oregon/USC-less B1G and Kepley played in the ACC. The Kepley at UNC would be an MLB starter, the Bateman so far in college and the minors is a 4th or 5th OF.

    In an ideal world, Conrad is an option to replace Happ or Seiya in 2027.
