Matt Shaw News
Chicago Cubs shortstop prospect Matt Shaw is a name for dynasty managers to take note of, as he has been on fire to open the season for Double-A Tennessee. The Cubs first-round pick of 2023 had a great Spring Training with the club and that has carried over to Tennessee. Over his first nine games, Shaw is hitting an astounding .370 with a triple, three home runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases. The 22-year-old has dominated since being drafted this past season and is rising quickly in the Cubs system. The Cubs do have Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson up the middle, but when you're hitting the ball as well as Shaw has, a position will be found. In his case, likely third base with Christopher Morel struggling defensively. Shaw's offensive abilities offer much to be excited for and managers in dynasty leagues should take notice and roster the young budding star. Managers in redraft leagues should also consider adding Shaw to the watch-list as he offers exciting potential if he receives a promotion to the show at some point in 2024.
Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Shaw was among 19 non-roster players to receive major-league invites to spring training this year. Along with Shaw, fellow top prospect Owen Caissie will be in camp this year. The 22-year-old Shaw was taken in the first round last year and hit .357/.400/.618 with a 1.018 OPS, eight home runs, 28 RBI, 15 stolen bases and 27 runs scored in 38 total games at three different minor-league levels, ultimately finishing at Double-A Tennessee. Most of Shaw's experience has come up the middle, but he could eventually be poised to move to third base down the road. Shaw will most likely open the 2024 season with Tennessee or Triple-A Iowa, but another strong year on the farm could make him a candidate to join the big-league roster for the first time in 2024.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Matt Shaw has been taking reps at third base, he told reporters. Shaw was the 13th overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft and was primarily a middle infielder in college at The University of Maryland. Shaw said he's taken "probably 99%" of his reps at third base and added that "you never know where the opportunities are gonna come. They could be anywhere." The Cubs are pretty set in the middle of their infield with Dansby Swanson at shortstop and Nico Hoerner at second so Shaw could see more playing time if he mans the hot corner. Shaw hit .357/.400/.618 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, and 15 steals across 157 at-bats over three levels of the Cubs' minor league system last year. He's a highly intriguing prospect and someone to keep an eye on in fantasy, particularly in dynasty leagues.
