A recent Chicago Cubs top draft pick has been making waves in the minor leagues.
. Despite bringing in Craig Counsell to be their manager and a few adjustments to their roster, they were unable to build off of their 83-win campaign in 2023.
The efforts of the pitching staff were wasted. Their starting rotation was solid throughout the campaign and the bullpen, after a brutal start, got on track.Alas, there were a few players who broke out this year, proving to be long-term building blocks. Michael Busch looked good at first base in his first chance at being an everyday starter and Pete Crow-Armstrong was great in center field.
“Catcher Moises Ballesteros and outfielder Owen Caissie both had strong seasons while finishing 2024 on the doorstep of the big leagues, but Shaw was the team's most impressive prospect a year after going No. 13 overall in the 2023 draft. The University of Maryland product hit .284/.379/.488 with 19 doubles, 21 home runs, 71 RBI and 31 steals in 121 games between Double-A and Triple-A,” Reuter wrote.
