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.

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 4-for-6 with a home run, three RBI, three runs, and a stolen base in a game for High-A South Bend. The 20-year-old has disappointed in his first season with South Bend, slashing .253/.280/.393 with a 24.6% strikeout rate and 3.2% walk rate in 41 games. However, he has heated up lately with a 1.074 OPS and seven runs in his last seven games. The 6-foot-6 outfielder has displayed his elite power and speed, with four home runs and 11 stolen bases on the season. He is years away from the MLB, but his raw talent makes him a must-roster in dynasty leagues.

The Chicago Cubs reassigned first baseman Matt Mervis, outfielder Kevin Alcantara, infielder David Bote, pitcher Nick Burdi, outfielder Ben DeLuzio, pitcher Brendon Little, catcher Dom Nunez, pitcher Manuel Rodriguez and pitcher Cam Sanders to minor-league camp on Thursday. The team also optioned outfielder Nelson Velazquez to Triple-A Iowa. Per MLB Pipeline, Alcantara is the team's No. 2 prospect this year, with Mervis checking in at No. 7. Alcantara, 20, looked really good in Single-A in 2022 and has intriguing power/speed capabilities, but he's likely a couple years from his potential big-league debut. Mervis clubbed 36 home runs at three different minor-league levels and is the team's first baseman of the future.
