Ed Howard Stands out in Cubs 2020 MLB Draft Haul

A Chicago, Illinois-based business owner, Sohrab Tebyanian founded Andriana Furs in 1987 and has since expanded the company into a 14,000-square-foot store that offers a wide range of outerwear in a variety of materials, such as furs, shearlings, suedes, and Italian-made leathers. Beyond managing the store, Sohrab Tebyanian enjoys following Chicago's professional sports teams, including the Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB).

The Cubs added five players to its organization through the 2020 MLB First-Year Player Draft, which took place this past June. Chicago selected shortstop Ed Howard with its first pick, 16th overall, in the draft. A 6-foot-2, 185-pound Chicago native, Howard played at Mount Carmel High School, registering a .421 batting average through 35 varsity games during his junior season in 2018-19, but he wasn't able to play this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarded primarily for his defensive capabilities, he is first high school player the Cubs selected in the first round since 2012.

Chicago drafted left-handed pitcher Burl Carraway with its second-round pick. He had a 2.81 earned run average (ERA) with 72 strikeouts in 41 and 2/3 innings in 2019 at Dallas Baptist University and managed a 0.96 ERA with 17 strikeouts in the shortened 2020 season. The Cubs also added University of Michigan outfielder Jordan Nwogu, San Jacinto College pitcher Luke Little, and Panther Creek High School pitcher Koen Moreno.
