With the Instructional League starting Wednesday night, it's time for a look at another three players representing the Cubs in league action. Jordan Nwogu was the Cubs’ third-round 2020 draft choice, with Cam Balego and Cory Abbott both selected in previous years.
Both of Nwogu's parents are on staff at the University of Michigan. As his first semester came to an end in Ann Arbor, his baseball coach told him he might not make the squad as a freshman, and he might get redshirted. He spent most of his "at home" time in-between semesters in the batting cage, showing coach Erik Bakich enough to put him on the 35 player roster.
