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

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara has performed very well in the batter's box through the first half of July at Double-A Tennessee. Across nine games, the 22-year-old has posted a remarkable .368/.419/.526 line with one home run, 10 RBI, and a 4:11 BB:K ratio. This is a stark contrast to the disappointing .179/.289/.205 line he held through June. Overall, the outfielder has been able to perform very well at times through his first extended look at Double-A pitching. Alcantara could earn an opportunity to get a brief taste of Triple-A before the end of the season and remains on track to make his major league debut next summer.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 4-4 at the plate on Friday with a double, one RBI, and a stolen base. Alcantara entered this game, hitting a mere .200/.286/.280 line over the past week. This is the 21-year-old first true look at Double-A pitching, as he only appeared in five games at this level last year. This season he holds a solid .248/.298/.376 line with four home runs three stolen bases, but a poor 10:37 BB:K ratio. Alcantara has showcased his strong power and speed combination in the minor leagues before, with a 15/14 season at Single-A in 2022 and a 12/15 season at High-A last year. He is projected to join the major league roster next season but may have a difficult time finding a steady opportunity as the Cubs have three established outfielders on their roster and top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is expected to be the center fielder of the future. Nonetheless, Alcantara could be worth adding in dynasty leagues if he joins Triple-A Iowa this summer.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 2-for-4 with a home run on Wednesday for Double-A Tennessee. The home run would be the first of the year for the 21-year-old. Alcantara has been off to a very slow start this year, hitting just .086 with a stolen base and hopefully Wednesday round-tripper will get him going. It is only nine games in, so there is no concern for the talented outfielder. Alcantara offers loads of potential and the power should continue to blossom as his body fills out, but he needs to become more disciplined at the dish to reach his full potential. The Cubs have plenty of outfield depth throughout their system, but Alcantara has arguably the most upside. If he can improve his vision at the plate, Alcantara could be a star at the next level. Dynasty managers should consider Alcantara moving forward.

Chicago 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.
