Jake Knapp is the definition of a workhorse on the pitcher's mound, which is all you can ask for from a starter, while also having the reputation of being a strike thrower, especially with his heater. Of all the pitchers the Chicago Cubs selected, this guy could have the highest upside and may be the one pitcher who makes the biggest jump the quickest. (CubsHQ)
