Kevin Alcantara Could Be No. 2 Option In Center Field
1 day agoChicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara is expected to be the team's No. 2 option in center field to open the season. While former top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong is slated to be the team's everyday center fielder, Alcantara could get the call if he struggles or suffers an injury. Alcantara is ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the system and 65th best in the sport on MLB Pipeline. He made his MLB debut last season and tallied one hit across three games. However, last season, the 22-year-old was also given his first extended look at both Double and Triple-A and was able to hold his own. In 76 games at Double-A, the outfielder held a .271/.342/.409 line. Across 35 games at Triple-A Iowa, Alcantara posted a strong .292/.378/.469 slash line. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor his production in spring training, as he could be a viable stash candidate in NL-only leagues if he performs well.
