Key Highlights

  • 55 on the list, which includes the best up-and-coming players in the game.
  • Wiggins was listed at No.
  • 58. Ballesteros, a left-handed hitting catcher, has spent parts of the last two seasons in Des Moines.
  • He hit .316/.385/.473 with an .858 OPS in 114 games with Iowa last season. Iowa Cubs' Moises Ballesteros (25) makes his way to third base on Friday, March 28, 2025, at Principal Park in Des Moines. The success earned Ballesteros multiple big-league promotions last season.
  • Known for his big bat, Ballesteros could very well begin the season in the big leagues as a designated hitter and backup catcher. Wiggins has widely been considered one of the organization’s best pitching prospects since the Cubs selected him with the 68th overall pick in the 2023 draft.
