Lots of places do prospect lists these days, but Baseball America was the first and is still arguably the most respected of the many prospect rankings. So when they announce their top ten Cubs prospects list for the 2024 offseason, it’s worth taking a look at.
The list and the scouting reports are behind a paywall, but I can share the names of the players they think are the ten best prospects in the Cubs system.
- Pete Crow-Armstrong OF
- Cade Horton RHP
- Matt Shaw SS
- Owen Caissie OF
- Moises Ballesteros C
- Jordan Wicks LHP
- Kevin Alcántara OF
- Ben Brown RHP
- Jefferson Rojas SS
- Jackson Ferris LHP
First off, it should be noted that, unlike some other prospect rankings, Baseball America’s rankings have always been very heavily weighted towards the opinions of scouts and other industry insiders.
