Both 2nd round LH college hitters have swing-and-miss issues but
lots of power potential.
On the MLB.com live draft said that Bailey at #75 is the top
power guy in the draft with massive EV. But also a massive 30%
K rate. 1B only. Cubs must really like this guy to pass on more
pitching for a 1B.

Law on Jasa (who he ranked #93)…
Jasa is a monster at 6-foot-7, but after a 2025 season where he
walked 19 in 18 2/3 innings with an 8.68 ERA, he wasn’t exactly
on the radar for a Day 1 selection. He’s a redshirt sophomore
who missed 2024 due to Tommy John surgery, returning with big
stuff this year but still questionable command. He comes from a
three-quarters slot and his fastball sits 95-96, touching 98,
but the Huskers had him throw over 60 percent breaking balls
this spring. His slider is more of a slider-cutter hybrid, an
upper-80s pitch with some downward break, while his traditional
12/6 curveball got a higher whiff rate (51 percent) but probably
would be less effective if hitters saw it more. He has 40
command, and maybe 45 control, especially against left-handed
batters; he gave up a .379 OBP to them this year, a problem
exacerbated by his changeup that acts more like a BP-fastball.
There’s definitely some upside here from his size, ability to
spin the ball and the potential for more command/control as he
gets more innings under his belt, with clear relief risk.

The Cubs pick a guy that has nowhere to go but up.
Because Jasa was so raw when he arrived at Nebraska as a
Colorado high school recruit, Cornhuskers coaches not only
redshirted him in 2024 but also wouldn't allow him to work
against teammates in practice for fear he might injure them with
an errant pitch.

Alabama baseball has landed a transfer portal commitment from
Dylan Marionneaux, he announced on social media.
Marionneaux, a right-handed pitcher from Northwestern State,
will have one season of eligibility remaining.
A native of Louisiana, Marionneaux is coming off a breakout 2026
season in which he was named a First Team All-Southland
selection. Over his 14 starts, the right-hander posted a 4-2
record with a 3.51 ERA and 81:18 K:BB ratio, doing so across
84.2 innings pitched.
Marionneaux also had two complete games this past year, and held
opponents to a combined .233 batting average against.

Hoping there's an over-slot HS guy Cubs ready to pop 5th or 6th
round on Sunday.
