    I've got bad news about a preponderance of American-born major leaguers.

    Overall, the Cubs’ farm is 2nd in 90th EV, 24th in Contact %, 14th in Chase % and 4th in Barrel %. BA combined and weighted all of those to rank the Cubs’ farm 11th overall. Detroit is 1st in the combined weighting.

    Other notes from Pontes’ chat: Long is likely the Cubs #11 prospect Will Sanders and Erian Rodríguez are the next two pitching prospects on the list. Drew Gray and Brody McCullough have great FB shape but are lacking in velocity Cristian Hernández’ reports and data are trending up while the Fernando Cruz reports are trending down Added screenshots of questions and answers about Ty Southisene/Eli Lovich and Pedro Ramírez

    They did. The correct answer is probably Ed Howard but they did make note that Triantos’ defense improved tremendously this season, especially because of mechanics and footwork. I wouldn’t be shocked if it also helped that he’s another season removed from knee surgery and his SB numbers back up his athleticism. (Also the Cubs upgraded BA writers, going from Glaser who *hated* Triantos - to Geoff Pontes.)
