Chicago Cubs 2026

I wonder if he's a catcher in the Ballesteros mold...
As others have pointed out, he’s better defensively with his arm being his main calling card. He’s only been catching full-time since his last year in college, having split time in previous seasons between there,OF and 1B. So not sure it is accurate as someone said that he is a defensive catcher first. He still has a ways to go defensively, but with his arm he’ll stick there. Definitely has taken a big step forward with his hitting. He’ll likely be given every chance to break training camp with the Cubs next year.

Maybe he won’t wait until next season to join the big league club.
