Even though it seems that the minor league season just ended, the Cubs began their Fall instructs this past week. Over 92 prospects are receiving instruction and trying to improve their game in Arizona. In addition, several players will be participating in the Arizona Fall League and some more advanced prospects are already playing games on a team with the Angels’ top prospects.
While the more advanced group had an actual game, the younger prospects had a home run derby, won by recent international signee Kwang-Min Kwon. There’s been a lot of buzz about certain prospects. Part of that began with their play in August and early September, but a lot of it has been about their rapid growth in instructs and the possibility of what they could become in 2016.
