Offseason Prospect Profile: Duane Underwood One Step Away, Health and Command Are Key

Selected in the second round of the 2012 draft, Duane Underwood is one of the few prospects left from the first draft class of the Theo Epstein era. He’s still only 23 years old and this coming season will be his second as a part of the 40 man roster, so I don’t foresee the Cubs giving up on him anytime soon.

Though it seems sometimes that he is been around forever, Underwood has only completed two full seasons, the first of which was in 2014 at Kane County. The second one was last year at AA Tennessee.
