What did the Chicago Cubs get from their picks in rounds 11-20 in the 2023 MLB Draft?

17th Round Pick- Ethan Flanagan P (UCLA)

Flanagan pitched significantly fewer innings in his junior season than he did in his sophomore season at UCLA when he was putting up numbers that looked like they might be good enough to land him on the second day of the draft.

In 2022 he went 3-0 over 25 games (seven starts) and also racked up two saves. He threw 60.1 innings, struck out 76, and walked 28 to earn a 3.28 ERA. 

In 2023 he appeared in just nine games (six starts) and went 2-1. Over 31.2 innings he struck out 31 and walked 16. He played fewer games, had a worse K/9, a worse BB/9, and a significantly higher ERA at 5.12.

Flanagan is more similar in nature to Jax Wiggins, the Cubs' second-round pick in that the Cubs hope with some help from the organization and recovery from whatever injuries were ailing him that they might end up with a solid pick in the 17th round.
