I hope he has kept in touch with the guy that supplied his
father with all those "nutritional suppliments".

BA:
Connor Noland
After not filling a significant role on the 2021 club, Noland
stepped up to fill the massive void created when Arkansas’
expected ace Peyton Pallette blew out his elbow. Noland was
rarely spectacular, but he was extremely reliable as Arkansas’
Friday starter. He went 8-6, 3.65 in 116 innings and 19 starts.
Noland’s 89-91 mph fastball would be a below-average pitch in
pro ball, but it does effectively set up his average, mid-80s
slider and above-average, mid-80s curveball. He has
above-average control. Noland is a fourth-year junior who could
opt to return to Arkansas for another season if his late-round
draft status doesn’t entice him.

With 2-way player Mule announced as a pitcher, Cubs have drafted

I think the draft and follow is only for JC players, but I'm not
sure.
Birdsell probably has at least 1 more year, but with COVID
players where able to petition for a 6th year if they want it.
The difference with baseball is that it is a partial
scholarship, so he or his family have to pay money to keep going
to school and at 23 his offers probably aren't going to get a
lot better.

Interesting to see how much the Cubs are leaning into
recently-injured guys. Who knows how the strategy will work out,
but I like the appetite for risk.
