Baseball Prospectus Names 4 Cubs Prospects in Their Top 101 List

Only two Cubs prospects were listed in Baseball America’s recent top 100, but Baseball Prospectus doubled that number in their top 101 list that dropped Thursday. Easily the most surprising of those was top 2020 draft pick Ed Howard, who made the list without having played a single game in the minors yet.

It’s a little disheartening that not one Cubs prospect made the top 60, with all four falling in the 60-90 range. That’s not a knock on their talent. Rather, it’s just a sign of their lack of experience at the higher levels of the minors after a lost season in 2020.
