Chicago Cubs: Brennen Davis, OF – South Bend Cubs

The team’s seventh-ranked prospect in the top 30 is another of this past season’s draft picks, outfielder Brennen Davis. Davis is just 19 years old, selected in the second round of the 2018 June Amateur Draft. He does not turn 20 until November.

Davis was called up to South Bend this past week due to an injury to Nelson Velazquez. In his first game with South Bend, Davis went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Last season in his first professional season, Davis shined. He finished the year at Rookie-level ball by slashing .298/.431/.333 with three RBI and six stolen bases in 18 games.

Take it as you will, but Davis gives off a young Dexter Fowler vibe. He is long and lanky like Fowler and does have the power to go along with his speed and overall quickness. There is a likelihood Davis will not be at South Bend once Velazquez returns, however, you never know. For now, he is someone with a ton of upside and potential for fans to keep their eye on moving forward.
