Chicago Cubs: Moises Ballesteros grabs top-10 MLB rookie ranking after season’s first weekend
The Chicago Cubs, early in Spring Training, made it known that they did not intend to let their top prospect, Moises Ballesteros, start another year in the minor leagues. Instead, he was an early addition to the Opening Day roster. This followed his successful Spring Training and brief first stint in the Majors last season.
Indeed, Ballesteros is one of the most highly regarded rookies in all Major League Baseball this season, and there are many who think he could make a run for the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
Chicago Cubs youngster Moises Ballesteros gets top-10 rookie ranking
In a recent ranking of the top 25 rookies across Major League Baseball, Bleacher Report slotted Ballesteros in at number 10, writing:
“The departure of Kyle Tucker in free agency cleared a path for Moisés Ballesteros to break camp with a starting spot in the Chicago Cubs lineup, serving as the team’s primary designated hitter.
“The 22-year-old has a 60-grade hit tool and has produced every step of the way in the minors. After struggling in his first MLB action early last season, he returned to post a .333/.435/.564 line in 46 plate appearances as a September call-up.
“His value is exclusively tied to what he does in the batter’s box, but he has raked throughout his pro career.”
Through four games this season, Ballesteros is hitting .143/.200/.143 with two RBI. It is still early, of course, and there is little reason not to believe he will not get going fairly soon.
In Chicago’s last game, a 7-2 victory over the Los Angles Angels, Ballesteros went 1-4 with two RBI.
Last year, in his first 20 games of Big League action, the slugger hit .298/.394/.474 with two home runs and 11 RBI.
