BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues

ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Chicago Cubs top infield prospect Matt Shaw has begun to find his footing in the major leagues and should be added in all formats. Shaw was able to break camp with the MLB roster but could not find much success during his first stint in the majors. In his first 18 games with the Cubs, the former Mayland product posted a low .172 AVG with a .535 OPS.

Following his slow start, the Cubs opted to send him to Triple-A for him to continue his development. At Iowa, Shaw could quickly flip the script as he held a .286/.409/.560 line with six home runs across 24 contests.

Since re-joining the Cubs on May 19, Shaw has performed at a high level. During this stretch, the No. 18-ranked prospect in baseball has posted a stellar .300/.353/.420 line with six doubles, five stolen bases, and a 9:4 K:BB.

Given his everyday role in the starting nine and ability to hit for power and steal bases, Shaw should be viewed as a must-add in all formats.
