The South Bend Cubs are the final Cubs’ minor league affiliate to take the field this season. Their defense of their 2022 Midwest League title will begin Friday at 6:30 p.m. Central time as they visit the Quad Cities River Bandits.
The South Bend Cubs have been a Cubs minor league affiliate since 2015. They were the Low-A stop from 2015 to 2019, but they’ve been the High-A affiliate since the minor league reshuffling in 2021.
The 2023 edition of the South Bend Cubs features perhaps the most exciting prospect in the Cub system in Kevin Alcántara.
