Although it has been only two games, Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara has not missed a beat since his promotion to Triple-A Iowa. The big outfielder went 1-for-3 with a home run on Wednesday and is now 2-for-6 in his first two games with Iowa. The 22-year-old spent most of his season with Double-A Tennessee, but his recent promotion makes him one step closer to making his big-league debut with the Cubs. Between both levels, Alcantara is hitting .273 with 10 homers, 40 RBI and seven stolen bases in 297 at-bats. Alcantara has really improved his plate discipline this season and his all-around potential gives him a very high ceiling moving forward. Managers in dynasty leagues should consider giving Alcantara a look in his new home.
Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara will join fellow prospects Matt Shaw and James Triantos in Triple-A Iowa on Monday. Alcantara, 22, is the currently the Cubs No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline and has spent the entire season with Double-A Tennessee. With Tennessee, Alcantara hit a respectable .271 with nine homers, 39 RBI and nine stolen bases in 291 at-bats. Alcantara stands tall at 6'6, 188 pounds, offering plenty of athleticism to go along with his powerful bat. He has also improved on his plate discipline since last year, allowing him to continue to improve at the dish. Although he isn't the Cubs top prospect, he may have the highest ceiling of their position players and should be on the radar of dynasty league managers.
Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara stayed hot on Thursday by going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. This extended his hitting streak to an eye-catching 10 games and an extra-base hitting streak to four games. Alcantara was in a bit of a slide through June as he held a disappointing 1.79 AVG but has clearly put those struggles way behind him as he is riding a season-best .365 AVG through July. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a nice season at Double-A and could see the final weeks of the season at Triple-A if he continues this strong play.
