The Chicago Cubs announced that South Bend Cubs outfielder Owen Caissie and Myrtle Beach Pelicans right-handed pitcher Luis Devers were named as the Cubs’ Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month of May respectively.
Caissie, who is the Cubs ninth-rated prospect in the most-recent Baseball America rankings, got off to a slow start to the 2022 season in April, but he turned things around in a big way last month. The 19-year-old Canadian outfielder hit .313 (26-for-83) with six doubles, four homers, 26 RBI, seven walks and a .910 OPS in 23 games for South Bend in May.
