I understand that MLB prospect ratings are still a WIP. I can only imagine the hours that go into that! If it helps, here's what I noticed looking through the Cubs prospects.
(2024 MLB.com Cubs prospect ranking in parentheses)
1B Michael Busch (4)
OOTP = 200 Def Exp at 2B should be removed since he will exclusively be a 1B for the Cubs.
OOTP = 45 Pot Avoid K's should be higher (at least 50). Busch made big improvements last year in AAA reducing SO and increasing BB.
2B Matt Shaw (5)
OOTP = 80 Speed is too high. Shaw has "solid" speed and good baserunning instincts. I'd suggest 55 for pure speed.
3B James Triantos (7)
OOTP = 65 Speed is too high. Should be 50 at most.
And Triantos should also be listed as a 2B - he played more games at 2B than 3B last year.
2B Jefferson Rojas (10)
OOTP = Pot Speed and Power too low for the Cubs #10 ranked prospect who had a good year in Single A at age 18.
RP Michael Arias (14)
Arias is a SP and one of the Cubs top SP prospects. His numbers across the board should be higher.
1B Matt Mervis (15)
Is exclusively a 1B now - should not have ratings at 3B and LF.
3B Pedro Martinez (19)
OOTP = 45 Speed too low since he has solid-to-plus speed.
1B Haydn McGeary (21)
OOTP = 200 Def Exp at C should be removed. He only played -2- games at C in Rookie League in 2022.
SP Brody McCullough (28)
Velocity should be 92-94 and his solid slider is missing.
SP Porter Hodge (29)
Should be a RP since he was moved to the bullpen last June.
2B Josh Rivera (30)
OOTP = 75 Speed is too high. Rivera has average speed but good instincts. And he should also have experience at 3B, where he is playing just as often as 2B.
LF Jordan Nwogu (--)
Should also have equal experience in RF.
CF Parker Chavers (--)
Does not play 2B.
