This is why we paid him double slot value to get out of his commitment from USC. And he is a ginger to boot.

Was just coming to post about him, dude looks like our next big prospect.  Power is crazy.

The 2025 Cubs will be a powerhouse.

Single, HR, and a walk for Davis tonight.  Finishing this year pretty strong.

AFL Notes from Keith Law:

Cubs right-hander Caleb Kilian, who was part of the return for Kris Bryant, faced seven batters Saturday night, and they all reached safely and scored, culminating in a home run for Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia (which I predicted I have a witness). Kilian was just 91-93 with four pitches, getting hit hard, with no ability to finish his curveball and too little deception. He was followed by Cubs lefty Brendon Little, who was 93-96 but all over the place and left the game with the trainer.

Lovely.

Sounds like Nelson Velazquez is really breaking out.

What a comeback velocity way up to 98 and getting sharp breaks on his curve. Slight mechanical change with his grip said to be they key.

Nelson does this after being awarded his award

Kilian also was still recovering from his bout with Covid toward the end of the year, so I'm sure it's a combo of all of the above.



Anyway, nice to finally have some promising young dudes to obsess over again.

I'm not ready to get erect over any of these guys just yet.
