5 Chicago Cubs prospects to watch at Double-A Tennessee in 2023

5 Chicago Cubs prospects to keep an eye on - 1. Pete Crow-Armstrong

It's been quite a few years since the Cubs had a prospect as exciting as Pete Crow-Armstrong. The biggest question surrounding PCA now is if he will head back to South Bend to begin the year after only batting .125 in Spring Training or if the front office thinks he's ready for the challenge of Double-A pitching already and sends him straight to Tennessee. to recap last season, the Cubs #1 prospect slashed .312/.376/.520 with 16 home runs, 61 RBIs, and 32 stolen bases. On top of that, he plays top-tier defense in CF.

Ideally, PCA gets to Tennessee as soon as possible and reaches Triple-A Iowa unscathed enough to the point where he can get at least 100 ABs at the highest level before the MLB. I don't think anyone expects him to break into the show next season, but if he can be ready for 2024, either immediately to begin the season or at least before the All-Star break, you won't hear any complaints from the front office. PCA is thought to be the face of the Chicago Cubs of tomorrow.
