Riser: Matt Shaw (no. 6)
The Cubs' first-round pick in the 2023 draft was shortstop Matt Shaw, who is looking like an absolute stud who will be fast-tracked through the system similar to Nico Hoerner. The 21-year-old is already playing with the A+ South Bend Cubs where he is slashing .292/.346/.417 in his first 24 at-bats. With the ability to play all around the infield, hit for power and run at above-average speed, Shaw could end up being a special player and it will be fun to watch his journey to the big leagues over the next couple of years.
