These three Cubs prospects are worth keeping an eye on this year.
“Alcántara has loose hands and a great swing with a strong first move toward the ball, after which he lets his legs do some of the work,” wrote Law. “He already recognizes spin well for his age and drives the ball to the opposite field, while he’s a plus runner who could stay in center even though he’s likely to add another 20-25 pounds of muscle. He carries some risk, as he’s 6-6 and has long levers, striking out 24.8 percent of the time last year.
Alcántara split his time between center field, right field and DH at Single-A last season. He slashed .273/.360/.451 with 15 homers, 85 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 112 games. Finally, Brennen Davis rounds out the top half of Law’s list at No. 50. The Cubs selected Davis in the second round of the 2018 draft, which was the same year they picked Nico Hoerner. While both Crow-Armstrong and Alcántara were risers in Law’s rankings, Davis was a faller this year. Law had Davis ranked No. 28 in 2022.
“Davis’ year was a washout, as he had a stress reaction in his back, underwent surgery early in the year, and wasn’t quite the same when he returned ahead of schedule; he had to leave a scheduled stint in the AFL earlier than planned,” wrote Law. “When on the field, Davis hit .192/.322/.319 in 43 games in Triple A, although he did swing it better in the fall league, going 5-for-18 with a pair of homers and just one strikeout.
