Bleed Cubbie Blue · Mar 22, 2022
2022 MLB Draft Prep: Week 5 of college baseball
Eyes on 1.7, the Cubs’ No. 1 pick
Second thoughts (Second round possibilities)
I dipped in a bit on Texas Tech at Iowa for some Adam Mazur (Hawkeyes pitcher, pronounced may-zure) activity. Touched for a lengthy leadoff home run, he pitched fairly well into the fourth. Eventually, some leaky defense and a high-end opponent wore him out. Mazur has the now seemingly regular 94-96 velocity with a putaway slider.
From the same game, Brandon Birdsell was better, with similar offerings, against a lesser offense.
Unwilling to put Jackson Holliday top 10, yet. However.
A Mason McRae special is a player whose measurable are rather good. Eric Brown from Coastal Carolina is among those being noticed.
