As the Chicago Cubs organization shifts focus to the future, ideally the farm system will produce some MLB-caliber power hitters. Outfielder Jordan Nwogu was taken by the Cubs in the third round of the 2020 draft out of Michigan to add another power-hitting prospect to the farm.
The 22-year-old from Canada is currently ranked the team’s 27th prospect by MLB.com and the 36th by FanGraphs. After a slow start to his professional career, he has looked better the past month and can hopefully continue to grow.
Heading into Friday, Nwogu has a grand total of 47 games played at the professional level, all with Low-A Myrtle Beach.
