MLB Pipeline, the official prospect arm of MLB dot com, updated their Top 100 prospects list at the end of the season. They have listed eight Cubs among the best minor league prospects in baseball.
Those eight prospects are:
22. Matt Shaw INF
34. Owen Caissie OF
42. Cade Horton RHP
44. Moises Ballesteros C/1B
55. James Triantos 2B/OF
67. Kevin Alcántara OF
73. Cam Smith 3B
100. Jefferson Rojas SS
The eight prospects are easily the most of any system in the Top 100. The Red Sox come in second with six—although three of Boston’s prospects are in the Top 10 so they’re not worried about falling behind.
