DES MOINES, IA – Chicago Cubs outfielder Brennen Davis was ranked the No. 16 overall prospect by Baseball America in their latest top-100 prospect rankings on Wednesday. Davis was tabbed as the top Cubs prospect and the third highest outfielder overall.

The 22-year-old was drafted in the second round of the 2018 draft by Chicago and climbed through three levels of the Cubs’ system last year. He ended the season playing 15 games with Iowa, hitting .268 with three doubles, four home runs and 12 runs batted in over that span.

After his 2021 campaign, Davis was named the Cubs Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America and the Buck O’Neil Minor League Player of the Year by the Chicago Cubs. He also took home the Most Valuable Player award in the 2021 MLB All-Stars Futures game, clubbing two home runs that helped the National League beat the American League, 8-3.

Davis played the majority of the season with Double-A Tennessee, hitting .252 with 20 doubles and 13 home runs over 76 games before making his Triple-A debut with Iowa on September 14 against the Omaha Storm Chasers. In his debut, he smacked home runs in each of his first two at-bats on his way to homering three times in his first three games with the I-Cubs. The outfielder recorded multi-hit efforts in five of his first seven games in Triple-A, cementing his spot as Chicago’s top prospect.

Iowa is slated to begin the 2022 season on April 5 in Buffalo, and will return home to Principal Park on Tuesday, April 12, hosting Toledo in the home opener. For more information and to view the 2022 schedule, visit www.iowacubs.com.
