Some Friday afternoon Cubs prospect goodness for you to enjoy … There are a number of intriguing young bats in this system, with a group of potential risers coming back from San Diego in the Yu Darvish deal and added in the last two international signing classes for the Cubs. Since I’m looking at who will jump up the list in the next year – not over the next three – I’ll lean to one of the older prospects of that bunch who still has plenty of untapped potential in Preciado. He is a 6-foot-4, switch-hitting shortstop who was one of the top players in the 2019 international class and has already shown progress in two instructional leagues for San Diego before heading to the Cubs in the Darvish trade. He’ll turn 18 just as the minor league season gets started and has a chance for four above-average tools (excepting speed) at third base, where he likely eventually ends up.
