Who is your number 1 prospect in the Cubs system: Jefferson Rojas or Josiah Hartshorn?
Justin Stransky scored from second on a ball Josiah Hartshorn hit to the shortstop. But I promise that’s not even the craziest part of this video.
The Cubs have signed all 21 of their draft picks. Here’s the complete class:
James Triantos to the bigs! What to expect: • Swings and makes contact with everything, leading to extremely low strikeout and walk numbers • Impressive baserunner who can swipe plenty of bags • Experience playing 2B/3B/LF/CF/RF
Jace Beck has forced himself into my top 20 prospects in the system. Really excited to see how he tackles his first Triple-A start tonight

In an interview recently, Cubs breakout prospect Owen Ayers gave a shoutout to the relentless bats in the Double-A outfield. Those 3 guys (Alex Ramirez, Carter Trice, and Andy Garriola) have been very impressive all year long.
