5 Cubs Prospects Primed for Promotions This Year
By Zoe Grossman
OF Owen Caissie - AAA to MLB
Cubs No. 3 prospect Caissie (MLB No. 34) is a bit of a wild card because the Cubs haven't been able to give outfield prospects many MLB at-bats besides Alexander Canario, who has been up and down this season.
MLB Pipeline predicts Caissie's big-league ETA to be 2025 but with the Cubs' bad injury luck this season he could receive a surprise call-up to Chicago. The Canadian corner outfielder has plus power at the plate, hitting 22 home runs last year in AA. Upon his call-up to Iowa this season he's continued to showcase his hitting abilities with a .279 average and .830 OPS.
2B/3B Pedro Ramirez - A+ to AA
2004-born Ramirez is the Cubs' No. 12 prospect and looks primed to get a call-up should Shaw or Triantos leave vacancies in the infield in Tennessee.
Ramirez is a switch-hitter putting up impressive numbers from both sides of the plate, hitting .278 with a 19.3% strikeout rate. MLB Pipeline calls his plate approach "advanced," with an ability to "patiently work counts and make line-drive contact to all fields."
