Juan Cabada

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago Cubs #24 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme.
  
  Track Record: Cabada signed out of the Dominican Republic for $1.5 million during the 2025 international signing period. He stands 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, and stands out for his hitting ability.
  
  Scouting Report: Cabada doesn’t have big physical upside, but he has a clean lefthanded swing, good plate discipline and a high contact rate in games. How much power Cabada is able to develop will be key, with some scouts believing it will always be a hit-over-power profile, while others thought he could start to show more power as he learns which pitches to hunt for damage instead of spreading the ball around the field. He’s an average runner who might see time at shortstop early in his career but likely fits better at second or third base long term.
  
  The Future: Canada has the least intriguing tools of the Cubs three big international signees but does have polish that could blossom into true plate skills.
