Fantasy Impact
The Cubs' number one prospect will begin the season in the minors after getting 14 at bats in the big leagues in 2023. With the signing of Cody Bellinger and the confirmation of Mike Tauchman being on the opening day roster, it was hard to envision the young outfielder getting regular playing time. That being said, he should get another shot in the big leagues at some point in 2024.
Pete Crow-Armstrong is being called up to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Crow-Armstrong is the #12 overall prospect in baseball and will join the Cubs for a playoff push after a fantastic season. It's unclear how much playing time he will get right away, but he has the ability to make an impact immediately. He hit .283 with an .876 OPS between Double-A and Triple-A this season.
The Chicago Cubs have invited top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong to MLB spring training.
Fantasy Impact
The Cubs are looking to give their top prospect and the 28th-ranked MLB Pipeline prospect a glimpse into the big leagues after a strong performance at High-A last season. Crow-Armstrong hit .287 with nine home runs and 19 stolen bases across 63 games after raking at the A-ball level through 38 games. Still just 20, Crow-Armstrong has plenty of minor-league seasoning left on his plate but his athleticism and defense are fine complements to his bat and should have him in the big leagues well before his peers.
