Cubs Used Team Approach To Draft Bryant - RealGM Wiretap

Chicago was expected to take one of the two best college pitchers available with the second overall pick

Bryant is the No. 2 ranked prospect in baseball and could make his Major League debut as early as Friday.
McLeod admits that there were major questions about Bryant's "hit tool." Bryant was "on the outside looking in" because of that in regards to Chicago using the No. 2 pick on him.
A San Diego native, McLeod has known San Diego coach Rich Hill forever, and Hill did everything he could to sell Bryant's potential.
"Rich Hill's going to shoot straight with me

McLeod also leaned on a series of scouts, who became sold on Bryant as his college career progressed.
