"Our 22-year-old slugger is cranking the ball, and getting comical results because of it: .375/.409/.625 (185 wRC+). And he's doing all of that with just a 20.5% strikeout rate ... again, at age 22."
"It is genuinely difficult to overstate how good he looks at the plate right now, and what a development that can be, not just for this Cubs team, but for the next ... oh, I don't know, five Cubs teams after this one?"
"If he keeps hitting like this, while Michael Busch and Ian Happ continue on their respective paths, then you wouldn't have to do much to convince me to move Ballesteros into the top-half of the order."
The Chicago Cubs have achieved a record above .500 for the first time this season. Today's game against the Mets is expected to be their toughest matchup. The Cubs lineup includes notable players like Nico Hoerner and Moises Ballesteros, who is performing exceptionally well at the plate. Despite his impressive stats, Ballesteros remains in the sixth position in the lineup. The Mets lineup features players such as Francisco Lindor and Luis Robert Jr. Jameson Taillon is set to pitch for the Cubs.
