Think more Nico Hoerner. You want enough to get the ball off
the ground, but not enough that he is hitting a lot of fly
balls.

Well stated.

I wonder how much loft you want as a small speed guy? You'd
like enough to get some balls over the infielders heads. And if
outfielder play Madrigal-shallow, I'd like enough loft to hit it
over their heads for triples sometimes. But if launch-angle is
just getting me fly balls to the warning track, like Justin
Turner, what's the point of launching? Maybe hitting flat line
drives through the infield is maybe the way to go? I want
Caissie to launch-angle; but not sure I want nearly that much
launch angle with Kepley?

Is he as tall as altuve of the Astros?

The last couple of years there was a guy on the internet that
kept a spreadsheet of the various picks, and their scouting
reports and news of progress. Does anyone know if he is doing
that again, and if so, does anyone have his link?

Cubs took Jack Knapp 6-5, 270 soon to be 25 year old. Fastball
is up to 97, throws strikes, supposed to have a pretty good
slider. TJS in 2024. Going to guess he's ticked for the
bullpen.
