Cubs Prospect Profile: Jared Young Explodes to Propel Eugene into the Playoffs

Going 14-for-18 over a four-game span will generally get you noticed. That is what Eugene Emeralds second baseman Jared Young did last week. Considering he had a home run and eight RBI in that stretch, you can assume that he will probably be named the Northwest League Player of the Week on Monday.

The Cubs selected the 21-year-old Young in the 15th round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Old Dominion. At 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, he is a pretty good size for a second baseman but still has room to fill out his frame a little.
