Cubs manager Craig Counsell stepped out of the Wrigley Field dugout Wednesday afternoon to meet 2025 first-round draft pick Ethan Conrad on the warning track.
They talked for a few minutes, looking out on the field where Conrad hopes to play in the not-so-distant future.
“Being here is just unreal,” Conrad said Wednesday before the Cubs’ game against the Brewers. “It’s awesome. I really just try to take it all in. It’s so beautiful here. And it feels like home.”
Every year the Cubs bring their first-round pick to Wrigley Field during a home series.
