Kevin Alcántara's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Chicago Cubs recalled outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday and optioned outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni to the Arizona Complex League in a corresponding move. Alcantara, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, earned the late-season call-up after batting a combined .278/.353/.428 with a .781 OPS, 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 61 runs scored in 111 total games with Iowa and Double-A Tennessee this year. The 22-year-old outfielder is extremely athletic for his size (6-foot-6, 188 pounds). He hits from the right side and also throws right-handed. Alcantara could get a little run to close out the Cubs' 2024 season this weekend, especially if Seiya Suzuki (ankle) is unable to return. Alcantara can get long with his swing because of his size, but if he can shorten his swing down, he has easy 30-homer power at the next level.

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.
