Johan Geraldo

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago Cubs #15 prospect in 2026
  BA Grade/Risk: 55/Extreme
  
  Adjusted Grade: 35
  
  Track Record: The Cubs signed Geraldo for $600,000 out of the Dominican Republic. Despite not being the Cubs’ highest bonus player in the 2026 class, many evaluators view him as one of the top up arrow prospects since signing.
  
  Scouting Report: An up-arrow prospect over the last year, Geraldo has a chance to develop into a power-hitting shortstop. He’s 6 feet, 170 pounds, with a lean, high-waist frame that he’s starting to fill out and still offers significant physical projection. He whistles the bat through the zone with high-end bat speed for his age to drive the ball with impact now and the potential to develop into a 25-plus home run threat. Geraldo’s power is enticing, but he isn’t just an all-or-nothing hitter, as he shows a sense for recognizing pitches and tapping into his power in games. Geraldo also has a chance to stick at shortstop, where his best trait is a plus arm.
  
  The Future: Geraldo will be one of the top players on the Cubs DSL rosters this season and could be a breakout name worth monitoring.
