Kevin Alcantara Goes Deep
9 months agoChicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 1-for-2 with a solo home run versus the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Alcantara, 21, spent most of 2023 in High-A South Bend with limited action in Rookie Ball and Double-A. Between all three levels, Alcantara hit .284 with 13 round trippers, 71 RBI and 15 stolen bases to go along with 105 strikeouts and 36 walks over 435 plate appearances. The Cubs have a crowded outfield at both the big-league level and on the farm, which should lead to the likely outcome of the 6'6 power hitter to remain in the minor leagues in 2023. Strikeouts will be a big part of his game, but his blend of raw power and speed are intriguing enough to roster him in dynasty leagues with the expectation that he could be a few years away.
