Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Kevin Alcantara is a 23-year-old top prospect for the Chicago Cubs who has demonstrated exceptional power production at Triple-A Iowa, hitting 13 home runs this season. Despite his readiness for MLB competition, he remains blocked in the Cubs' outfield by established players (Ian Happ, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Seiya Suzuki) and DH Moises Ballesteros. Trade speculation has emerged as the most likely outcome for Alcantara given the Cubs' offensive depth and lack of available roster spots, with analysts suggesting he is on the trade block ahead of the deadline.
