Kevin Alcantara

Alcantara got a cup of coffee with the Cubs in 2024 to make his MLB debut. The 22-year-old saw action in three games and recorded one hit across 10 at-bats. He was much more productive in the minors, where he sported a .781 OPS while posting 14 home runs and 61 RBI across 111 games between Double-A and Triple-A. Alcantara also chipped in 14 stolen bases, showing off a good combination of power and speed at a young age. He's a good athlete with some definite upside, though he finds himself in sort of a crowded outfield situation. The Cubs have Ian Happ, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki seemingly locked into starting spots. Cody Bellinger is also on hand to play some outfield and DH, while veterans Mike Tauchman and Patrick Wisdom also provide depth. Alcantara could potentially supplant the latter two if Chicago wants to go younger, but the other players should all have sizeable roles. That could push Alcantara down to Triple-A again to begin the season. Still, he's a player worth keeping an eye on down the road. Read Past Outlooks
