Moises Ballesteros Collects Three Hits on Sunday
Moises Ballesteros went 3-for-6, with all three hits going for singles and he scored a run on Sunday for Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs' second-ranked prospect continues to make his case for the major league roster, now slashing .333/.390/.498 through 71 games at Iowa this season. The diminutive backstop is striking out at just a 13.1 percent clip, with a .393 wOBA and 128 wRC+. He wasn't able to garner regular at-bats during his brief stint in the majors earlier this year, but if he can get the call and receive regular at-bats, the 21-year-old would be rosterable in deep NL-only and two catcher leagues, but has the upside to have a wider appeal, especially if he were to obtain first base eligibility at some point.
