Talk about a Chicago Cubs prospect who was on a mission this offseason.
Jefferson Rojas looked the part of a top prospect last year at High-A, earning himself the bump to Double-A at just 20 years old. There, though, he struggled to maintain his typically high-quality contact. It was just 176 plate appearances, his walks and strikeouts still looked good, and he was quite young for the league, but that contact quality was really poor. One way to think about it is that, in 39 games, he had just six doubles and zero home runs.
But, as I said, the guy had a mission. Now, after another home run last night, the still-20-year-old shortstop has three home runs (and two doubles) through just six games:
Jefferson Rojas (20.9) is the *2nd youngest* hitter in the AA Southern League!After a .485 OPS in 39 G in AA at the end of last year, he seems to have adjusted to the level. So far in 2026 (29 PAs):.333/.379/.7411.120 OPS3 HRs | 2 2Bs#Cubs pic.twitter.com/uulv2wSUQX
— Northside Soundtrack (@CHC_DataDrive) April 10, 2026This is the Jefferson Rojas we were seeing in Spring Training, looking as disciplined as ever at the plate, with a beautiful swing, but also looking even stronger.
That home run, by the way, was of the supremely clutch variety. It was a three-run shot in the 8th inning, as the Smokies trailed by two, and it wound up being the winner.
