2024 Fantasy Outlook
Nobody upped their dynasty stock more in the Arizona Fall League than Triantos. We already knew he was one of the best contact hitters in the minors (14.1 career K%), but he really struggled to hit for power, especially for a bat-first prospect. He was one of the youngest players in the AFL and ranked second in slugging (.679) while hitting three home runs in 22 games. The 6-foot-1 utilityman only hit four home runs in 83 regular season games primarily played at High-A, where he registered a .105 ISO, so this relative power breakout in the AFL is much needed. The AFL is a hitter-friendly environment, but Triantos only needs to be in the 10-20 homer range to potentially provide significant offensive value. He has a career .284 average and .350 OBP and hit .417 with a .495 OBP in the AFL. There's a chance he could be a leadoff or No. 2 hitter if he maxes out. Triantos, who turned 21 in January, went 25-for-30 on stolen-base attempts last year, but he isn't very fast, so don't expect more than 10-15 steals in a big-league season. Now that he seems to be accessing adequate power, the biggest flaw in his game is defense. His subpar defense at second base and left field will slow his climb to the majors. Read Past Outlooks
Headed to Triple-A
The Cubs promoted Triantos from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Triantos will head to Iowa after he compiled a .300 average with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 63 runs scored and 38 stolen bases over 89 games with Tennessee. He'll join fellow infielder Matt Shaw and outfielder Kevin Alcantara in being promoted to Triple-A.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Cubs drafted Triantos with the No. 56 overall pick in last year's draft, giving him a $2.1 million bonus -- almost $1 million over slot value. The prep infielder from Virginia arguably did more after signing to boost his dynasty stock than any other player in the class. He was one of the best performers in the Arizona Complex League, slashing .327/.376/.594 (143 wRC+) with six home runs and a 16.5 K%. Triantos doesn't turn 19 until January, so this was an appropriate level for his pro debut, and he showcased an impressive combination of contact skill and game power. He will probably end up at third base or second base and won't be much of a runner, but the early returns suggest his bat could carry him to an everyday role in a few years.
