FWIW, my notes on the three former Cubs

In 2017, he threw out 26 of 73 base stealers (36%) while hitting a respectable 0.278/0.374/0.358 in 396 MWL PA; however, he is a bit old for low-A.
LHSwing Chris Nunn 6’5” 200 Lbs. (199010) [2012 HS, San Diego] Hard throwing LHRP who struggled with control and frequently got lit up before being released.
Signed by Cubs in late August 2017 after he touched 97-98 pitching in his first start for the independent Evansville Otters.
