Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros continues to rake against Triple-A pitching, currently riding an 11-game hit streak, which includes six multi-hit performances. The diminutive backstop now has a staggering .377/.430/.558 slash line over the first 19 games of the season, but it's just the most recent impressive display of hitting that he's put on at every stop in the minor leagues as he's climbed the ladder. Still only 21 years old, the left-handed slugger has outshone more advanced competition at every turn and has nothing left to prove offensively in the minors. If not for Carson Kelly's renaissance for the Cubs, we may have already seen Ballesteros in the big leagues, but it is just a matter of time now. Managers in deep leagues and two-catcher formats need to keep an eye on any rumblings of a promotion, as the Venezuelan could provide an instant offensive boost upon his debut.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros is scorching-hot at the plate, blasting two home runs in a 2-for-5 day at the plate on Wednesday for Triple-A Iowa while recording three RBI and two runs scored in the process. The home runs extended his current hit streak to 16 games, with 10 of those going down as multi-hit performances, and the 21-year-old is hitting a sweltering .402 for the year along with an otherworldly 1.078 OPS. Ballesteros was seemingly white-hot all of last season as well, but he never got the call, and there isn't much more he can prove at the plate, so it looks like he's out to force his way onto the major-league roster. If you've been stashing him, continue to do so, because the call could come any time now.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros came into this past weekend hitting .377, but as high as that was, he managed to raise his batting average 37 points to .414 by the time Sunday's games were over. The 21-year-old went 7-for-10 over the weekend and walked more than he struck out (3:1 BB:K). The OPS now stands at a sizzling 1.061 with a .476 wOBA and 183 wRC+. The Venezuelan backstop now owns a 14-game hit streak, has hit safely in 18 of his last 19 games, and has recorded multiple hits in 12 of 22 contests. If it were any other team, Ballesteros would probably be in the majors, but both the Cubs' catchers, their first baseman, and their DH are all hitting well, so there isn't a path to at-bats at the moment. Still, it shouldn't be long until he gets the call, with RotoBaller estimating a June timeframe.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros has continued to swing a hot bat at Triple-A. The young backstop is currently riding an impressive nine-game hitting streak. During this stretch, Ballesteros has posted a stellar .515/.575/.788 slash line with three doubles and two home runs. He has also added five RBI and seven runs. The 21-year-old received a 68-game taste of Triple-A last summer and performed quite well, holding a .281/.340/.454 line with 15 doubles and 10 home runs. It is a great sign to see Ballesteros carry this success into the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production as he could push for an earlier-than-expected MLB debut this summer. For now, he is worth stashing in deeper NL-only formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Moises Ballesteros went 4-for-5 with a double and two home runs during their contest against Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday. These were Ballesteros' first two long balls of the Triple-A regular season. During this impressive six-game hitting streak, the young backstop has posted a stellar .522/.577/.870 slash line. Through the first 14 games of the Iowa Cubs' regular season, the 21-year-old has swung a hot bat, holding a .379/.419/.586 slash line. Last summer, Ballesteros received his first taste of Triple-A and enjoyed similar production as he posted a .281/.340/.454 line with 15 doubles and 10 home runs across 68 games. Fantasy managers should expect the No. 66-ranked prospect in baseball to debut later this summer.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
