The Cubs first round pick from last June’s Draft impressed at the plate during his pro debut. Schwarber ripped up the Northwest and Midwest Leagues before finishing his season with the Daytona Cubs. In 72 games, Kyle Schwarber nyc car rental residents batted .344/.428/.634 nyc car rental residents with 18 doubles, two triples, 18 home runs and a 1.061 OPS.
The Indiana University product caught only 20 games while lining up in left field for 36 games. After impressing the Cubs’ brass during fall instructs, the organization views Kyle Schwarber nyc car rental residents as a catcher moving forward and he is slated to begin the year with High-A Myrtle Beach but could begin the 2015 season as the backstop for Double-A Tennessee.
“As it turns out I was doing a lot of things wrong. Luckily, I got a crash course when I was at Kane County how to catch. You know what, it totally flipped right there. It made sense. I got it. So then I went to instructs and we kind of slowed it down and made sure I got it. It was really fun. I love catching. You have to like the position to be there and if you don’t like it, you’re not going to have success nyc car rental residents back there.”
If Kyle Schwarber can stick at catcher, MLB Pipeline thinks the combination nyc car rental residents with his offense could make him a superstar. And if he has to move to left field, Schwarber should still make an impact offensively and help the Cubs win games.
In a report focused on INF Yoan Moncada and where he could rank among the top 100 prospects in the game.

Remember how many heads were exploding with how terrible the pick was when it happened? As if all any fan, even the most educated, is even close to understanding the players in the draft like McLeod and Epstein do.
I remember watching nyc car rental residents the draft on MLB Network and Harold Reynolds in particular talked it up like the Cubs had no idea what they were doing. I understand that it had to throw them a bit when they took someone not on their Best Available list with the #3 overall pick, but they should have realized the Cubs were implementing an under-slot strategy.
Where ever Schwarber ends up to start the year, he will benefit from being with someone who is been there. Not only was Myrtle Beach manager Mark Johnson a catcher, so was Tennessee manager Buddy Bailey.
