  1. Benge seems interesting. Athletic, good hit tool, more walks than strikeouts. If the Cubs area scout for that region (Ty Nichols) likes him, the Cubs will have Benge on their short list. Nichols was the area scout for Wicks and Horton so he’s had some recent success and the Cubs clearly listen to him.
  2. BA noted 12 of the top IFAs for next year’s class: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025-mlb-international-prospects-preview-12-players-to-watch/ The Cubs are linked to one:
  3. Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa vs. Toledo, 7:08 pm Tennessee vs. Birmingham, 6:00 pm South Bend vs. West Michigan, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach at Augusta, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs at ACL Padres, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue at DSL Brewers 2, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red vs. DSL Brewers 1, 10:00 am Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Thomas Pannone (58 IP, 4.34 ERA, 4.60 FIP, 54 K, 18 BB) Tennessee: RHP Brandon Birdsell (44.2 IP, 4.03 ERA, 3.71 FIP, 36 K, 13 BB) South Bend: LHP Drew Gray (29.2 IP, 3.03 ERA, 4.65 FIP, 37 K, 28 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Nazier Mulé (2 IP, 13.50 ERA, 15.20 FIP, 1 K, 4 BB) ACL Cubs: RHP Freylin Silverio (12 IP, 6.00 ERA, 4.55 FIP, 15 K, 9 BB)
  4. Better video of Wiggins’ strikeouts:
  5. Also Yahil Melendez hit an inside-the-parker:
  6. Ángel Cepeda with a triple and a single too. Has his OPS over .900.
  7. Callis linking the Cubs to some interesting names.
  8. Will Sanders: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 HR on 72 pitches. The homer came in the 6th inning.
  9. Have to imagine Wiggins’ day is done. Hell of a low-A debut: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 40-28 pitches-strikes, 10 swinging strikes
  10. Wiggins struck out the side in the second. 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K. 7 swinging strikes His third strikeout came on a batter violation, but to be fair, he had an automatic ball too.
  11. Wiggins went K, GO, GO in the first.
  12. That would be surprising since prep arms tend to fall every year and there isn't even a consensus on who the top prep pitcher is this year. Noble Meyer was much better regarded last year than any of this year's prep prospects and he fell to 10.
  13. Fernando Cruz goes 2/4 with a double, single, walk, strikeout and a stolen base in his first pro game.
  14. Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa vs. Toledo, 6:38 pm Tennessee vs. Birmingham, 6:00 pm South Bend vs. West Michigan, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach at Augusta, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs at ACL Rockies, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue vs DSL Royals Fortuna, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red at DSL Pirates Black, 10:00 am Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Thomas Pannone (58 IP, 4.34 ERA, 4.60 FIP, 54 K, 18 BB) Tennessee: RHP Chris Kachmar (26 IP, 3.81 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 33 K, 16 BB) South Bend: RHP Will Sanders (31.1 IP, 4.60 ERA, 4.64 FIP, 36 K, 18 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Jaxon Wiggins (low-A debut - at ACL Cubs: 7 IP, 10.29 ERA, 11.65 FIP, 7 K, 12 BB) ACL Cubs: RHP Freylin Silverio (12 IP, 6.00 ERA, 4.55 FIP, 15 K, 9 BB) and/or RHP Diego Dugarte (5.2 IP, 7.94 ERA, 11.15 FIP, 7 K, 8 BB)
  15. This was against Drew Thorpe, the crown jewel prospect in both the Juan Soto and Dylan Cease trades last offseason.
  16. Madrigal and Palencia both left the second Iowa game with injury.
