Later tonight, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans will take the field for the first time in 2024.
In recent years, the Pelicans have been the team to watch in the Cubs minor league system with tons of young talent that the team has been accumulating through trades and the draft. The good news is that a lot of those players thrived and have moved on to higher levels or even the major leagues. Luke Little was on the 2022 Pelicans, for example. The bad news is that that hasn’t left a lot of prospects in Myrtle Beach this year.
