The Chicago Cubs took high school catcher Ethan Hearn with their sixth-round pick. Fans might want to get to know him rather quickly.

1

He could be the best high school catcher in the draft

Hearn is widely considered one of the best prospects in this year's draft. Some of that has to do with the position he plays. There aren't a ton of great catchers this year. Most scouts consider him the best of his class.

2

He's got a lot of raw power

Vance Law is among those who says that Hearn has a ton of raw power. That's something the Cubs always love to see, especially in their catchers. While Schwarber was a more polished version of Hearn, the power bat at the position is likely why they went back to that well.
