The Cubs made four picks in the MLB Draft last night, selecting Stanford SS Nico Hoerner, outfielder Brennan Davis from Basha HS in Arizona, outfielder Cole Roederer from Hart HS in California and right-handed pitcher Paul Richan from the University of San Diego.
You can read all about the four players in the recap from last night.
Jim Callis of MLB.com offered his thoughts this morning on the Cubs’ choice of Hoerner:
I’m a little surprised the Cubs passed on a couple of the college arms that were available here, but Hoerner is an offensive-minded middle infielder with a track record of hitting in college.
