Kansas State southpaw Jordan Wicks (1) was the best college lefty in the draft class, a fastball/changeup guy without electric velocity and with just an average-ish breaking ball. The changeup is plus and he throws a ton of strikes. This was the Cubs’ one real safe pick in the first four rounds, as Wicks seems extremely likely to pitch in a big-league rotation, and soon, as long as he stay healthy. But barring a change in stuff, he doesn’t have a high ceiling. Shortstop James Triantos (2) never strikes out, with exceptional bat control and a simple approach, showing strength for hard contact but no other plus tools. He’s more likely to move to the right side of the infield, as he doesn’ show the range or footwork for shortstop. He reclassified into the 2021 class this spring (he was originally in the class of 2022). It would not surprise me a all to see him go out and hit for average in Low A next year given his bat-to-ball skills. Left-hander Drew Gray (3) was a two-way player in high school, with some arm strength from the left side but a lack of clearly defined offspeed stuff and some power at the plate. It sounds like he’ll go out as a pitcher first, where he has more upside once he focuses on just one position rather than two. Arkansas center fielder Christian Franklin (4) seems like a great value play in the fourth round, as he has plus-plus power and defensive skills that would put him in the late first round, but swings and misses too often – he ranked second among all SEC hitters in strikeouts – and really needs an overhaul to his swing. He’s a great upside pick at this point. The Cubs went heavy on college seniors after this, although some of them are interesting enough that they’re more than just pure money-savers. Shortstop Liam Spence (5) is already 23 years old, but has good plate coverage and bat control with a chance to stay at shortstop. It’s not that dissimilar to David Fletcher’s skill set, although Fletcher was drafted at age 21. Riley Martin (6) was another senior sign, also 23 years old, but the Quincy University right-hander can show an above-average fastball and slider and struck out 45 percent of the batters he faced this year in Division II. Parker Chavers (7) is left-handed hitting outfielder with big power but length to the swing that might make him a platoon guy. Catcher Casey Opitz (8) is a stronger defender but his bat probably limits him to backup duty. Outfielder Peter Matt（10) is a serious academic underachiever, having graduated from Penn and then gone on to Duke this year to pursue a master’s, with strong exit velocities but a huge strikeout rate for a 23-year-old. -- やっ..........！！！！！！止めろペイモンこの野郎～～～～～～っ 地獄でいきなり聖書なんえ 読み上げやがってえ~~~~~~~~~っ！！殺すえおっ！！ --
