## Resource

The Cubs went all-in on pitching in their draft, selecting 16 arms out of 21 picks—including 10 straight pitchers in one stretch—and took bold risks on players with injury histories or off-field baggage, trusting their development staff to turn raw talent into impact. While they didn’t shy away from power hitters like Myles Bailey and Caden Sorrell, they prioritized building depth on the mound, rounding out the class with intriguing catchers and high-upside bats—all part of a clear, future-focused strategy to rebuild through pitching and high-potential offense.
