Player Outlook
Kevin 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.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Not on Tokyo travel roster

    Rotowire
    Alcantara will not be on the Cubs' 31-man travel roster for their two-game series versus the Dodgers in Tokyo next week, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The team hasn't officially made any roster moves yet, but Alcantara's exclusion from its Tokyo travel roster suggests he's not going to make the roster for the team's domestic Opening Day on March 27 in Arizona, either. Alcantara got his feet wet at the major-league level in 2024 and remains one of the Cubs' better prospects, but the 22-year-old is slated to open this season as an everyday player at Triple-A Iowa.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Next man up in center?

    Rotowire
    Alcantara appears to be the next man up for the Cubs in center field if top option Pete Crow-Armstrong misses time due to injury or struggles offensively, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports. Alcantara made his MLB debut in 2024, appearing in three regular-season games in September. The 6-foot-6 22-year-old is physically gifted, and while he's bigger than many center fielders, the Cubs seem to have confidence in him to play the position if the need arises. Crow-Armstrong is locked in as the starter for now, though he's a fairly unproven MLB player himself and still has room to grow offensively; therefore, Alcantara does potentially have a path to playing time if he impresses. The youngster could start 2025 with Triple-A Iowa but appears to be waiting in the wings for a role in the majors.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Added to major-league roster

    Rotowire
    The Cubs recalled Alcantara from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports. Alcantara, 22, has slashed .278/.353/.428 with 14 home runs and 14 stolen bases between Double-A Tennessee and Iowa this season. He's one of the Cubs' most physically-gifted prospects, although questions remain as to how much he'll ultimately hit. It's not clear how frequently Alcantara will play this week, but there could be a path to at-bats if Seiya Suzuki's ankle injury Tuesday forces him to miss some time.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Moves up to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Cubs promoted Alcantara from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register reports. Alcantara batted .271 with nine home runs, 39 RBI, 38 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 76 games with Tennessee. Along with Alcantara, infielders Matt Shaw and James Triantos were also bumped up from Tennessee to Iowa.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Starting season at Double-A

    Rotowire
    The Cubs optioned Alcantara to Double-A Tennessee on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. The 21-year-old finished last season at Double-A, but it's not a surprise he'll return there to begin 2024 since he played just five games for the affiliate. Alcantara spent most of the campaign at High-A South Bend, where he posted a .275/.333/.453 slash line with 12 homers and 15 steals in 95 contests.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Heating up with weather

    Rotowire
    Alcantara is slashing .317/.391/.532 with six home runs, three steals and a 24.4 percent strikeout rate in his last 37 games for High-A South Bend. Alcantara has really caught fire at the dish since the weather warmed up in the Midwest League. He hasn't rocketed through the minors, but Alcantara has been at least 19 percent better than the average hitter at every league he has played in since 2021. Given that he is already on the 40-man roster, Alcantara could get a taste of Double-A before the end of his age-20/21 season.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Joins 40-man roster

    Rotowire
    Alcantara was added to the Cubs' 40-man roster Tuesday. The 20-year-old Alcantara still has yet to play beyond the Single-A level, but his .269/.357/.439 slash line with Single-A Myrtle Beach shows promise for Alcantara to crack the majors in a few seasons.

  • Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Massive game Sunday

    Rotowire
    Alcantara went 4-for-6 with two homers, a triple, eight RBI and three runs for Single-A Myrtle Beach against Carolina on Sunday. The huge effort gave him a six-game hitting streak and lifted his season line to .281/.372/.526. Alcantara had a cool start to the season, batting just .234/.331/.422 with a 16:42 BB:K across his first 33 games. However, he's lit on fire over his last 17, putting together a .375/.449/.734 line with five homers, three steals and a far more respectable 11:18 BB:K. The 19-year-old looks like a future franchise building block for the Cubs.
