Atleast you got a stud in the first round not a rp!

Well if he turns into Billy Wagner, maybe it’ll be all right...

MLB Pipeline:
Carraway first piqued Dallas Baptist's interest as a center
fielder and threw in the mid-80 as a Texas high school senior in
2017, so he wasn't a high-priority recruit and didn't attract
interest from pro clubs. His velocity began to climb as a
freshman but he was so raw that he made just two appearances and
retired only one of the seven batters he faced. He made a huge
leap forward as a sophomore, averaging 15.6 strikeouts per nine
innings as the Patriots' closer and becoming the first player in
school history to make the U.S. collegiate national team. The
favorite to be the first reliever drafted in 2020, Carraway has
a pair of overpowering pitches in his fastball and curveball.
His heater sits at 93-96 mph and touches 98 with riding action,
while his downer curve usually parks in the upper 70s. His
pitches play up because they have high spin rates and he gets
good extension in his delivery, and both can grade as well above
average when at their best. As a 6-footer who lacks physicality
and features a lot of effort in his high three-quarters
delivery, Carraway is strictly a reliever. His control and
command have improved in college but still need to get better if
he's going to hold down a high-leverage role in the big leagues.
He should be one of the first players from the 2020 Draft to
reach the Majors.

I mean I love the Howard pick and the first round pick is by far
the important. During the Theo years I’m pretty sure Davis and
Roederer was the only time where it wasn’t what the hell. This
doesn’t seem like Kantrovich is bringing much of a change.
Clayton Beeter, who the Dodgers took at 66 is another guy that
could be a reliever, but like Crochet at least has a chance to
start. A lefty with control problems and good stuff doesn’t
seem worth a second round pick.

Dallas Baptist was home to a couple of major leaguers including
Ben Zobrist.

Jordan Nwogu, LF UM. Big power, questionable contact.
Questionable school choice.

Nwogu has special power when he can make contact but sometimes
looks lost in the OF so even if he makes enough contact he
projects as a LF at best.

studying comes first. He is a computer science engineering major
with an academic scholarship. In his free time he likes to code
and play chess. “Academics is the biggest thing,” he said.

Not sure how many intellectual chess players are going to
challenge him on the Cubs....
