The 2019 draft is officially in the books, ladies and gentlemen. The Cardinals made 40 picks in 40 rounds, and somehow managed to select 43 college pitchers.
Seriously, though, this was a strange draft. The organisation clearly decided to push hard on pitching this year, which is somewhat understandable given the sudden dearth of pitching talent in the pipeline, but you never really want to see a club seemingly make up its mind who to draft based on need rather than scouting. Still, with pretty rare exceptions, every single time you make a pick in the draft there are probably half a dozen players available at that slot whose talents are virtually indistinguishable in terms of quality.
