Cubs Elevate Moises Ballesteros Behind the Plate, Expanding His Catching Duty

The Cubs are accelerating Moises Ballesteros’ catching duties, using him more behind the plate while he continues to hit well (.387/.435/.710 in 69 plate appearances) and post a solid WAR. Manager Craig Counsell envisions a partial catching role for Ballesteros, especially in matchups with certain pitchers like Matthew Boyd, while Carson Kelly and Miguel Amaya remain the primary catchers. The plan isn’t to adopt a full three-man rotation, but to keep Ballesteros ready to catch when advantageous, potentially boosting his NL Rookie of the Year case if the workload holds.

Cubs push Ballesteros to catch more after grand slam showcase

The Cubs are accelerating Moisés Ballesteros’s catching development, giving him more work behind the plate while he continues to serve as a top hitting asset and occasional DH. In his first catcher start of the season against the Padres, Ballesteros hit a 404-foot grand slam, illustrating his two-way potential as manager Craig Counsell says he learns quickly and will be eased into catching. Ballesteros has been hitting .387 with five home runs, 16 RBIs and a 1.145 OPS in 69 plate appearances this season.
