Yeah I would hope not too, but their coach says today would be a
throw day for him and he might have 30-40 pitches in him.

Lee Leidig is an associate scout with Cubs and he seems to have
some connection with Jensen. It wouldn’t shock me if the Cubs
have some data that they think can improve the breaking ball.
This isn’t the usual Cubs pick an average fastball pitcher. This
kids fastball is elite.

Add Sickels to those who thinks Jensen wasn’t a reach.

Passan reporting Allen’s demands where too high for the Cubs.
[/quote]
Yes, Passan says Cubs were “extremely close” to taking Allan.
Can’t get too much closer than that.
Passan:
The Chicago Cubs were indeed extremely close to taking HS
right-hander Matthew Allan, but signability concerns pushed them
to Fresno State right-hander Ryan Jensen, sources tell ESPN.

Well, one of these days the Cubs will be a big market club that
can spend in the draft.

Strumpf was a pretty shiny prospect heading into the season, but
took a huge step backwards - sophomore year stellar, junior year
mediocre. Not much glove and can't run, so he's a hit or bust
proposition, pretty much. A LIAB pick to be sure - gambling
that he finds whatever he had last season, and lost.

Jensen’s Fresno State team lost 9-7 and was eliminated last
night. Thankfully FSU did not pitch Jensen.

After reviewing the draft board I would really like to see the
Cubs draft Matt Cronin from Arkansas with their next pick. He is
a big lefty closer with great stuff. I think he could move
pretty quickly through the system.
I actually met and became friendly with his father last year at
the CWS and have stayed in touch with him.
I don’t understand the hesitancy to draft closers if they
seemingly have the stuff and personality but someone is going to
get this kid in the 3rd or 4th round and I will bet he moves
quickly.
Cronin in the 3rd and Ryan Zeferjahn in the 4th would make up
for the blah 2nd rounder. If they were to take Matt Allen and
sign him I would be good with that as well. 😁
