2020 MLB Draft Prep: Baseball America mocks HS outfielder Robert Hassell to Cubs

In their latest 2020 mock MLB draft, Baseball America had prep outfielder Robert Hassell going to the Cubs with the 16th overall pick. A 6-foot-2 center fielder from Thompson Station, Tennessee (a bit south of Nashville), Hassell is a Vanderbilt recruit. As such, he wouldn't come at any sort of discount. Here's a look at Hassell.

He hits and throws lefthanded, and recently performed well in an international tournament for players under 18. The bat doesn't sound like a serious concern yet, and he seems to have am advanced approach.

I normally don't burn much time talking about preps, as updates from high school games are normally about useless.
