Cubs Bet on College Arm Again in MLB Pipeline Mock

MLB Pipeline's latest mock draft projects the Chicago Cubs to select Arkansas left-hander Hunter Dietz at No. 23, continuing the club's trend of prioritizing college arms; Dietz is a tall lefty who sits in the mid-90s (up to 98) with a promising breaking ball, and he posted strong numbers this season (roughly 3.57 ERA, 131 strikeouts in 85.2 innings) after overcoming an elbow surgery in the past, fitting the Cubs' appetite for arms over positional needs and aligning with their draft strategy of seeking value over immediate positional needs.
