Louisville and UCLA are still in the tournament, so a chance to
see Mcavene and Strumph this coming weekend.

Only two Alabama high school catchers ever have been selected in
the first three rounds, and it hasn't happened in the last 50
years. Rated the top prep backstop in the 2019 Draft by some
teams, Hearn could join James Kelly (Orioles, second round,
1966) and Lamar Johnson (White Sox, third, 1968) in that
exclusive club. His talent and the relative lack of catching
available this year is pushing him up boards. Hearn's two most
impressive tools are his raw power and pure arm strength, both
of which grade as plus. He's a left-handed hitter whose strength
and aggressive, pull-oriented mindset give him plenty of pop to
right field. He has a quick release on his throws and can record
1.9-second pop times to second base. A Mississippi State
recruit, Hearn still requires some offensive and defensive
polish. He needs to temper his approach at the plate because he
doesn't always make consistent contact against quality pitching.
He has improved as a receiver but still has more work to do and
loses concentration more often than he should.

He's rated as the top high school catcher in the draft by BA.

So, overslot guy who might be a tough sign.

The Cubs haven't taken a top 10 round guy that didn't sign. If
they picked him they know they can meet his number.

Yeah, probably. Nice to see an overslot there. HS catchers
drafted high don’t have a great track record—so better to have a
potential washout in 6th round, even with 2/3 round money. Won’t
seem as disapponting.

Cubs drafted Depperman 5 years ago. Either fresh or soph year
must have gotten injured early enough to get an extra year.
Will turn 23 within two weeks!
