NWL
3. Dylan Cease, rhp, Eugene (Cubs)
Age: 20. B-T: R-R. Ht: 6-2. Wt: 190. Drafted: HS—Milton, Ga., 2014 (6).
Cease was unquestionably one of the most electric arms in the NWL. He had
Tommy John surgery just after the Cubs selected him, and this season was his
first outside of the controlled environs of extended spring training and the
Rookie-level Arizona League.
The results were encouraging. At his best, Cease showed off a fastball that
sat in the high 90s and touched as high as 101 mph. His incredibly fast arm
also generates a wipeout, downer curveball that’s another plus pitch at its
best. He also throws an occasional changeup. That arsenal, however, was
slightly mitigated by below-average command and control that stemmed from a
tendency to lose his release point, as well as below-average life on his
fastball.
Cease walked than 5.0 hitters per nine innings and quickly ran up high pitch
counts, but he has excellent athleticism and some of the most electric stuff
in the minors. He’ll have to improve his control to remain a starter.
10. Wladimir Galindo, 3b, Eugene (Cubs)
Age: 19. B-T: R-R. Ht: 6-3. Wt: 210. Signed: Venezuela, 2013.
Galindo has been a slow-burn prospect who has shown profile third-base tools
with his power and arm strength. His nine home runs tied for second in the
NWL, and he led the league with 32 extra-base hits despite playing his home
games in PK Park, one of the minors’ least hitter-friendly venues. Galindo
hit .305/.389/.611 with six homers and 31 RBIs in road games.
He has well above-average arm strength but will need to watch his body to
make sure he doesn’t have to move to a corner-outfield spot.
13. D.J. Wilson, of, Eugene (Cubs)
Age: 20. B-T: R-R. Ht: 5-8. Wt: 177. Drafted: HS—Canton, Ohio, 2015 (4).
Signed for $1.3 million last year, Wilson was Eugene’s everyday center
fielder and thrived away from the pitcher-friendly confines of his home park.
At home, he recorded a .567 OPS compared with .829 on the road.
Wilson is a slash-and-burn type of hitter with a flat bat path that allows
him to spray line drives. He has a bit of sneaky power as well. He’s mostly
a pull hitter at present but worked diligently to adopt more of an all-fields
approach.
Wilson will stick in center field with above-average speed and an effortless
ability to run down balls in both gaps that recalls his days playing wide
receiver in high school. His arm, however, is a tick below-average. His speed
and defense could get him to the big leagues as a backup outfielder if his
bat doesn’t pan out as expected.
16. Chris Pieters, 1b/of, Eugene (Cubs)
Age: 22. B-T: L-L. Ht: 6-3. Wt: 185. Signed: Curacao, 2011.
Pieters might have the most intriguing background of any of any NWL prospect.
Signed out of Curacao in 2011 as a lefthanded pitcher, he recorded a 9.31 ERA
in 77 innings before the Cubs gave him back a bat in 2015. He’s an athletic
player who split his time between left field and first base and swiped 20
bags in 23 tries, which tied for fourth in the league.
NWL managers were impressed with Pieters’ ability to get the barrel to the
ball, though his inexperience showed with 73 strikeouts, which tied for third
most in the league. Others praised his smooth, flat bat path. He’s still a
little rough defensively at first base but looks better when he lets his
athleticism take over in the outfield. One manager even thought center field
could be an option.
Pieters is 22 and will be Rule 5 draft eligible this offseason, but he has
shown the tools to help him make up ground.
MWL
2. Eloy Jimenez, of, South Bend (Cubs)
Age: 19. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 205. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2013.
The Cubs invested $2.8 million to sign Jimenez out of the Dominican Republic
in 2013, and he took a huge step forward this season in his first crack at
full-season ball. He starred in both the MWL all-star game and Futures Game,
hitting a home run in both, and took home MVP honors after leading the MWL
with 40 doubles and a .532 slugging percentage. He ranked second with 81 RBIs
and third with a .329 average.
Jimenez has plus raw power, with the ability to hit the ball out to any part
of the park. His hit tool grades as above-average. He can be overly
aggressive but has a solid two-strike approach. He has shown the aptitude to
adjust to pitches on the outer half as well as offspeed pitches, though his
pitch recognition will need to improve.
Jimenez is an average runner and average defender in left field who has
gotten better jumps on balls this year. He could improve his average arm with
better lower-half mechanics. He engages with teammates and the media and has
rapidly improved his English skills.
CARL
10. Ian Happ, 2b, Myrtle Beach (Cubs)
Age: 22. B-T: B-R. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 205. Drafted: Cincinnati, 2015 (1).
Happ continued to show the strong hitting ability he had in college. He
even earned a promotion to Double-A Tennessee, where he hit eight home runs
in 248 at-bats.
Happ saw time in left field in addition to second base and has the arm
strength to try third. He’s not adept or polished at second, though,
committing seven errors in 50 games. He is universally regarded as a strong
worker.
"He has tremendous plate discipline. He’s going to hit and hit for
power," Potomac manager Tripp Keister said.
12. Trevor Clifton, rhp, Myrtle Beach (Cubs)
Age: 21. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 170. Drafted: HS—Maryville, Tenn., 2013 (12).
Clifton had a breakthrough season in winning the Carolina League pitcher
of the year award. He proceeded to win a start in both rounds of the
postseason, including a six shutout innings in the championship series
against a stacked Lynchburg lineup.
“Clifton has put together a really solid year,” Lynchburg’s manager
Mark Budzinski. “He has good command of three pitches and really knows how
to pitch.”
Clifton’s fastball sits 93-95 mph and he backs it up with an improving
curveball and changeup, giving him three potentially above-average pitches.
Scouts and managers like the way Clifton attacked hitters and kept them
off-balance, especially with his breaking pitches.
Southern League
9. Ian Happ, 2b/of, Tennessee (Cubs)
Age: 22. B-T: B-R. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 205. Drafted: Cincinnati, 2015 (1).
The honor roll of players the Cubs have run through Tennessee the last three
seasons includes Javier Baez in 2013, Kris Bryant and Addison Russell in 2014
and Kyle Schwarber and Willson Contreras in 2015. Chicago continued that
trend when it assigned Happ, the ninth pick in the 2015 draft, to the SL on
June 23 after he recorded an .885 OPS at high Class A Myrtle Beach.
While the switch-hitting Happ produced respectable results in the SL, he did
not excel. Some evaluators expect that to change. “He has the best hands in
the league as far as bat speed and getting the bat out front,” Montgomery
manager Brady Williams said.
While Happ is a more dynamic batter from the left side, he has a discerning
eye at the plate and the potential to develop into a plus hitter with
near-average power. He will need to make more contact to reach that ceiling,
but his swing works from both sides of the plate. He runs the bases well with
above-average speed.
Happ played mostly outfield in college, but he is determined to play second
base, much like bat-first prospects such as Jason Kipnis or Daniel Murphy
before him. Evaluators see Happ as a fringy defender at the keystone with an
average arm but stiff actions, particularly on the double play.
PCL
2. Willson Contreras, c, Iowa (Cubs)
Age: 24. B-T: R-R. Ht: 6-1. Wt: 210. Signed: Venezuela, 2009.
A year after claiming the Double-A Southern League batting title, Contreras
starred for Iowa and made his major league debut on June 19. He signed as a
third baseman before converting to catcher in 2012.
“Willson can play anywhere you want him to: first base, third base or any of
the outfield positions,” Iowa manager Marty Pevy said. “He can run. He is
super athletic, with a strong arm. He’s the most athletic catcher in
baseball today.”
Contreras has demonstrated an ability to hit for average and power, and he
should be above-average on both counts. He has an above-average arm behind
the plate and has improved his blocking and receiving. He runs well for a
catcher and has played left field and first base as well as catcher with
Chicago. He is the organization’s catcher of the future.
12. Albert Almora, of, Iowa (Cubs)
Age: 22. B-T: R-R. Ht: 6-2. Wt: 190. Drafted: HS—Hialeah Gardens, Fla.,
2012 (1).
The sixth overall pick in the 2012 draft, the first conducted by Cubs
president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, Almora reached Iowa in 2016
for his first taste of Triple-A ball. His potential as a future Gold
Glove-caliber center fielder highlights his skill set, but he also hit .303
in 80 PCL games.
“(He has) front-line center field ability with plus-plus defense,” Iowa
manager Marty Pevy said. “At the crack of the bat you look and he’s already
moving. He reminds me a lot of Vernon Wells, with his route and first-step
quickness, arm strength and accuracy.”
Almora’s offensive skill set still is developing. With exceptional
hand-eye coordination and proven contact ability, he could develop into a
top-of-the-order batter who can hit for average. He hasn’t shown an inkling
to draw walks, and though he has raw power, it doesn’t play in games because
of his impatience. Almora isn’t a burner, but he has above-average speed
underway and is still learning to apply it to the bases, working with the
Iowa coaching staff on reading pitchers, accelerating his head-first slide
and understanding opportunities to swipe a base.
17. Jeimer Candelario, 3b, Iowa (Cubs)
Age: 22. B-T: B-R. Ht: 6-1. Wt: 210. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2010.
Candelario was born in New York but calls the Dominican Republic home. Signed
by the Cubs at age 16, he has made a steady rise through the system. Even
though Candelario hit just .219 at Double-A Tennessee at the outset of 2016,
the Cubs promoted him to Iowa on June 9 and he thrived. He even received a
five-game big league callup in July.
“Candelerio is one of my favorite guys to watch in the league,” Nashville
hitting coach Eric Martins said. “I just love the energy and how he went
about his business. He can play third base and has a smooth stroke from both
sides and was not overwhelmed. He’s a bright kid and plays the game the
right way.”
Despite a thick frame, Candelario has present above-average defensive ability
at third base, with quick, soft hands and a plus arm. Despite his youth, he
shows great plate discipline and feel for the strike zone. He has a sweet
swing from both sides of the plate with an ability to fill the gaps with line
drives. He could develop 15-20-homer power as he develops strength and
experience against top-tier pitchers.
