The Chicago Cubs drafted Mason McGwire, son of 12-time All-Star Mark McGwire, in the eight round on Monday.

Mason, a right-handed pitcher out of Capistrano Valley High School in California, is committed to the University of Oklahoma, where his 19-year-old brother Max is an infielder.

There's no indication yet if Mason plans to turn pro, but teams seldom use picks in the top 10 rounds on players they think are unsignable.
