Cubs did the same thing the Bulls did, grab a guy later who a
lot of rankings had higher than their first round pick.
If they can sign Ferris - which would seem to be depend on
Horton going a million or so under slot - it's a worthwhile
gamble. He reminds me of Herz a little - very hard to hit but
with a funky delivery that calls into question whether his
command and control will allow him to stick in the rotation.

BA:
Jackson Ferris
Originally a product of Mount Airy High in North Carolina,
Ferris transferred to IMG Academy, where he wowed scouts during
his junior season by posting a 0.55 ERA over 50.2 innings and
striking out 86 batters compared to just 13 walks. He made
significant velocity increases throughout his high school
career, and over the 2021 showcase circuit was regularly around
93 mph and touching 96-97 mph at peak from the left side. On top
of that fastball, Ferris has flashed multiple above-average
secondaries: a mid-70s curveball with impressive depth and spin
(2,400-2,600 rpm) and a mid-80s changeup that’s thrown with
fastball arm speed. That loud stuff did come with some
inconsistencies that scouts hadn’t previously seen from him as
an underclassman, and throughout the 2022 spring he was largely
the same pitcher—good pure stuff, but scattered and inconsistent
command from outing to outing. Many scouts believe Ferris’
complicated, contorting delivery is simultaneously a boon for
his deception and a burden for overall consistency. There’s tilt
and drift during Ferris’ leg lift, with plenty of length and
hooking action in the back of his arm slot, and then finally a
crossfiring lower half in his landing. He’s not always on time
with his release at foot strike and many in the industry believe
he’ll need to clean up some of those moving parts to make the
most out of his obvious arm talent. Ferris is committed to
Mississippi but has plenty of interest among the top two rounds.

Peyton Graham would be a nice pick if we went position player…

Longenhagen said in the chat he has makeup issues.
Got the lefty pitcher right. Ferris was 19 on MLB pipeline, 43
on Fangraphs, 38 with Law.
