Mayo has the Cubs taking Sean Hjelle, a 611 RHP from Univ. of
Kentucky.
TSN has us taking Connor Scott, a 64 CFer from Plant (FL) HS.
Speed and defense guy with no pop.

Others I have seen projected include Trevor Larnach, an OFer
from Oregon State, and two GA HS pitchers, Ethan Hankins and
Kumar Rocker.

You must have been some teacher. Once again, you spelled winner
wrong.

HOF Andre Dawson will represent the #Cubs Monday on 1st day of
@MLBDraft
I hope Manfred says it is the twenty-eighteen draft instead of
two-thousand-and-eighteen.

From Baseball America's draft preview - and their discussion on
right handed HS pitchers. Since 2003, HS righties picked in the
top 10 have a lower career average WAR than those picked 11-20,
21-30, and 41-50.
"Even though it keeps not working, we're obsessed with 18-year
old kids throwing 96-99. It's safe right? The kid is probably
huge, he's throwing 100, he shows up on the field. It's going
to be very difficult for anybody to be like, 'This is a
ridiculous pick.' Some 6'5" dude throws one bullet at 100 and
everyone in player development (and on this site) is happy. But
we have the data. We have the history. We know that shouldn't
be the reaction."
.... "It's just the safe factor", the cross-checker said. "You
pop someone and they to out to short-season and the game report
comes back 88-92 and he pitches 5 innings and gives up three
runs, it's uncomfortable.
