Waldschmidt sounds interesting.
Waldschmidt has emerged as one of the better pure hitters in the
college class this year, his second at Kentucky after
transferring from Charleston Southern, hitting .370/.500/.653. I
think there’s even more power to unlock here. He starts with a
very wide base and no stride, limiting how much he can transfer
his weight, yet he still rotates his hips well enough to drive
the ball now with composite bats. He rarely misses fastballs (13
percent whiff rate during the regular season) and doesn’t chase
much regardless of pitch type. He’s a solid athlete who should
be an above-average defender in a corner, playing left for
Kentucky this year. Even as-is he’s a first-rounder because of
the feel to hit, with that opportunity for more power if he
loosens up his stance and uses his lower half more.
Defensive value. Makes contact and swing changes might unlock
more power.

Fangraphs has them taking Moore the catcher.
14. Chicago Cubs: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee
Moore’s a big model darling now, as is his brother* Malcolm at
Stanford (*note: they’re not actually brothers), and both seem
high on the Cubs’ list based on what other scouts believe. I
think the Cubs are a dark horse on Benge and Cijntje. They’ve
taken players like Vance Honeycutt in the past, but never this
hig

Jim Callis’s lastest mock
14. Cubs: Trey Yesavage, RHP, East Carolina (No. 11)
The Cubs also are holding out slim hopes for Kurtz, Rainer or
Griffin. Yesavage would be a nice addition to a farm system
lacking in pitching depth. With Tibbs and Moore gone in this
scenario, hitting contenders would include Smith, Stanford
catcher Malcolm Moore and King.

I know you're not supposed to draft for need, just for talent.
But isn't Christian Moore yet another 2B-defense guy? If we've
already got Shaw and Triantos as 2B-only prospects, would it be
super wise to add another 2B-only guy?
