Baseball America has released their annual list of the Top 100 prospects in baseball (sub. req.) and two members of the Cubs’ organization, left-handed pitcher Brailyn Marquez and outfielder Brennen Davis, have both been named to the list. Marquez is ranked as the 52nd-best prospect in baseball and Davis is listed at number 72.
Marquez, 21, is one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in baseball, regularly sitting in the 97-98 miles per hour range and often hitting 100 or more. Baseball America notes that Marquez has the potential to be top-of-the-rotation ace, but he needs to improve his control before then.
