Rest-of-Season Projections
Success carrying over at Triple-A
Ballesteros is hitting .394 with one home run in eight games since being promoted from Double-A Tennessee to Triple-A Iowa on June 18.
ANALYSIS
Most evaluators are low on Ballesteros' defense behind the plate, otherwise the 20-year-old would easily profile as Chicago's catcher of the future. He threw out only nine percent of base stealers this season at Double-A, and physically, the only big-league catcher he resembles is Alejandro Kirk. Ballesteros, who is listed at 5-foot-7, 195 pounds, is one of the most natural hitters in the minors. It's his premium hit tool and above-average power that will get him to the majors in some role, perhaps between catcher, first base and designated hitter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Defensive improvements needed
Ballesteros isn't expected to be a significant contributor for the Cubs in 2025 due to his defensive deficiencies, per Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Chicago is in need of an upgrade behind the plate, but Ballesteros isn't expected to be a solution in the near future. The 20-year-old has an .854 OPS between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season -- which is especially impressive given his age -- but he still has significant work to do behind the plate in order to be an option for the major-league club.
