Cubs Minor League News: Ballesteros raking, Shaw homers, Espinoza with three hits, more……
The Chicago Cubs’ farm system continues to impress, with several top prospects putting up strong performances across multiple levels. Catcher Moises Ballesteros remains red-hot at the plate, showcasing his advanced approach and power with a multi-hit game that included a towering home run. The 20-year-old is emerging as one of the most consistent bats in the system.
First-rounder Matt Shaw also had a big night, blasting his fifth homer of the season while continuing to display improved discipline at the plate. His quick bat and steady glove at shortstop have him pushing for a possible late-season call-up.
Elsewhere, infielder Luis Vazquez stayed productive with a pair of doubles, while Alexander Canario flashed his power and arm strength in Triple-A. On the lower levels, Kevin Alcántara continues to make adjustments, drawing walks and spraying hits to all fields.
Cristian Hernández showed encouraging signs in Low-A, but the highlight was infielder Pedro Ramírez, who extended his hitting streak with three more knocks, bringing his average over .300.
With multiple position players surging and pitching prospects like Cade Horton and Michael Arias maintaining their form, the Cubs’ pipeline looks poised to provide reinforcements soon.
