I would love for Young from TCU to fall to us but doubt it

Probably somewhere between 3-5.

Ian Happ, OF, Louisville
There are some guys who just get hitting. Ian Happ is one of those guys. The switch-hitting outfielder was the best pure hitter for me in the draft, and is a great pick for the Cubs (yes, I know, you wanted a pitcher). His swing is excellent from both sides of the plate, and there's sneaky pop from the left-side as well, with enough strength to drive into the gaps from the right. The question is whether he'll play second base or the outfield, but wherever he plays, he's going to hit. Another great pick from Theo Epstein and company.

Since 1965, I can only find 3 players drafted out of HS as a first basemen. One was Logan Morrison.
EDIT: The search didn't work right. Lots of 1B drafted out of HS.

#4 for me behind Torres,McKinney and Schwarber.

According to Iowa's bio we drafted him in the 20th round in 2012 as a catcher out of simeon
