No Minor Leagues Means Missing These 7 Young Cubs in Short-Season Ball This Summer

I was really looking forward to the first half of the minor league season in 2020, particularly seeing how last year’s draft class of mostly pitchers started fresh and showed what they could do with no restrictions. Then there was the promise of Brennen Davis, Cole Roederer, and Chris Morel lighting it up at Myrtle Beach. Those are some of the more obvious storylines in the early going, but the second half of the season is when we see another wave of prospects coming on the scene.

July and August typically bring us short-season ball in Mesa and Eugene, which allows several young players to showcase their games for the first time.
