He led the nation with 158 strikeouts in just 92 innings . (if you are tired of STL pitchers who 'pitch to contact' you have your srikeout pitcher in this kid .
Liam Doyle had a 2.84 ERA and held batters to a .172 batting average

Finally a pitcher that can blow the batters away .

There is only one player I'd rather have at that point. {Hernandez]
But, I like doyle.
He is going to be a fan favorite.
Those of you who don't like this pick,
prepare to have your mind changed.
The cardinals of today are boring.
There is nothing boring about this guy.

I hate the Cubs....but good for Ethan....injuries derailed a VERY GOOD year he had going with WF

Someone better tell Zach Wheeler he’s doing it wrong

Wheeler relies on 6 pitches. Four Seamer (41.9%) Sinker (17.7%) Sweeper (13.7%) Curveball (9.2%) Cutter (9.1%) Split Finger (8.4%)

You were close or maybe you are thinking about when he pitches against Cardinals.

Let’s me help you out.

Four seam fastball - 41.9%
Sinker (fastball) - 17.7%
Cut fastball - 9.1%
Split finger fastball - 8.4%

That would be 77.1% fastballs.

Cubs take Wake Forest OF Ethan Conrad

If they were intent on drafting a pitcher and Anderson was off the board they should have taken the one with the highest ceiling in Hernandez. Doyle would have gone between 15 to 20 last year.
Hopefully he will succeed and will at least rise fast so that makes it a safe pick which has been the Cardinals model. Let’s hope he is not another Zack Thompson or Hjerbe who both also was tabbed as quick contributors.
I still believe they would have taken Willits or Holiday if available. I guess they felt guys like Parker and Hernandez carried too much risk for the money involved.

Agree. I don’t think the Cardinals were willing to go the long game with Hernandez. They still need to pick up another solid arm somewhere.

Hope it hurts him another 45 minutes.
He has a little tweener to him with the C/OF.

The lack of medicals probably helped
Willits

O's like IKE

Ike Irish goes 19th to Baltimore
