There are plenty of reasons for Chicago Cubs fans to be excited about Moises Ballesteros. Now the Cubs' No. 1 prospect, Ballesteros' bat has received high praise since he was a teenager, and his .294/.394/.474 20-game cup of coffee last season only validated the reports of an advanced, well-rounded hitter.
The 22-year-old is one of the top breakout candidates on Chicago's roster, and his offensive potential is a major reason why. The two-time Cubs Minor Leaguer of the Year winner is expected to be almost exclusively a DH in 2026, adding amplified pressure to hit the ground running in the batter's box.
