Chicago Cubs Dive into Day 2 of MLB Draft with Promising Prospects in Sights
The Chicago Cubs are gearing up for Day 2 of the MLB Draft, with a lineup of promising prospects on their radar as they look to bolster their roster for the future.
Having already snagged infielders Cam Smith and Cole Mathis in the earlier rounds, the Cubs eye a mix of talents as they move into rounds 3 through 10.
Among the standout players still on the board are Dakota Johnson from Mississippi State, hard-throwing Joey Oakey from Ankeny Centennial HS, outfielder Mike Sirota from Northeastern, catcher Kevin Bazzell from Texas Tech, Drew Beam from Tennessee, and left-hander Josh Hartle.
One intriguing prospect that could catch the Cubs’ attention is Carson Wiggins, a towering right-handed pitcher from Roland HS in Oklahoma with a history of injuries but raw talent.
Carson Wiggins, the brother of last year’s Cubs draftee Jaxon Wiggins out of Arkansas, could bring a familial connection to the team if chosen in the upcoming rounds.
