Chicago Cubs third base prospect Jonathon Long has been swinging a hot bat throughout the Arizona Fall League. Through 16 games, the 22-year-old has posted a stellar .348/.443/.667 slash line with three doubles, six home runs, 19 RBI, and an 11:17 BB:K ratio. This is a great sign for the No.30 ranked prospect in Chicago as he took significant steps in his development last season. Long opened the 2024 campaign with High-A and carried a .247/.346/.417 line through 68 games. Then, with Double-A Tennessee, the former ninth-round pick held an impressive .340/.455/.528 line with nine doubles and seven home run across a 46-game stint. If Long continues to perform at this elite level, he could have a great opportunity to open the 2025 season with Triple-A Iowa.
Following the All-Star Break, Chicago Cubs first base prospect Jonathon Long was promoted to Double-A Tennessee. Since then, he's been one of the best hitters in Minor League Baseball, slashing .500/.574/.750 with six doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, and 10:7 BB/SO through 14 games. To start the month of August, he's gone 13-for-20 with a 1.480 OPS. Overall, the Cubs' ninth-round draft pick in 2023 has a .883 OPS through his first 452 professional plate appearances.
