Jonathon Long Invited to Big-League Camp
Chicago Cubs first base prospect Jonathon Long has earned an invite to MLB spring training. Long is considered the team's No. 6-ranked prospect in the system per MLB.com and is now quickly approaching his MLB debut. Long joined the Cubs in the seventh round of the 2023 MLB Draft but has since emerged as one of their top bats. Last summer, the infielder spent the entire 2025 campaign with Triple-A Iowa and performed at a high level. Across 140 contests, the Long Beach State product held a .305/.404/.479 line with a strong .883 OPS. He hit 20 home runs while holding a 116:79 K:BB. The previous season, Long held a similar .283/.391/.461 line across 114 games between High-A and Double-A. Even though Michael Busch is the team's primary first baseman, Long could be in the mix for an early call-up as an injury replacement, given his quick adjustments to Triple-A pitching.
