Prospect Profile: Duncan Robinson Is Proving to Be a Unique Arm

by Todd Johnson August 14, 2017

When it comes to publicity, I think Duncan Robinson has been badly overlooked this year. I find the lack of press especially odd because he was the Cubs minor-league pitcher of the month for May while at South Bend. Robinson might not be the sexy type of pitcher who throws in the upper 90s, but he does […]

Is Michael Rucker a “Guy” Going Forward?

by Todd Johnson August 3, 2017

On Monday afternoon, pitcher Michael Rucker was placed on MLB.com’s Cubs Top 30 Prospect List at number 29, and the simple reason is that Rucker is having one of the best seasons in 2017 by a Cubs pitching prospect. The Cubs selected Rucker in the 11th round of the 2016 MLB Draft. With his inclusion […]

Thomas Hatch – What Are the Keys to His Dominant Run?

by Todd Johnson June 19, 2017

I first saw Thomas Hatch pitch for Oklahoma State in the College World Series (CWS) in 2016. He pitched a complete game against the University of California-Santa Barbara and I really liked what I saw that game. He struck out seven but got a lot of ground ball outs using a three pitch repertoire of a […]

Eloy Makes an Immediate Impact

by Todd Johnson May 15, 2017

The statline looks pretty impressive for Eloy Jimenez’s 2017 debut. He went 3 for 7 with three walks, two of them intentional, one a walk-off. The Cubs No. 1 prospect played in his first games in 2017 that mattered yesterday for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans after spending the first month and a half of the season recovering […]

The Reincarnation of Justin Steele

by Todd Johnson April 30, 2017

In early 2015, ESPN’s Keith Law clearly put an unintended target on the back of the Cubs 2014 5th round draft pick: pitcher Justin Steele. Law named Steele his sleeper prospect of the year for the Cubs. Steele, who was all of 19 at the time, had only pitched 18.2 innings in the lowest levels […]

Oscar de la Cruz Could Be a Giant Arm with One More Pitch

by Todd Johnson March 20, 2017

Oscar De la Cruz is a big, big man. Everything about him as a baseball player is just huge. While he is listed at 6’4″ and 200 pounds, those stats might be four or five years old. He’s likely closer to 6’6″ and 220 pounds. When I watch him pitch, his hands are so huge […]
