## Resource

The Cubs snagged a raw, 67 pitching prospect in Carson Jasa, a Nebraska hurler with elite spin and mid-90s heat—but his journey’s been anything but smooth. After Tommy John surgery sidelined him in 2024, he struggled out of the bullpen in 2025, walking too many and struggling with his ERA. But last season? He turned it around, dominating as a starter with a 10-2 record and a 3.59 ERA, while slashing his walks and racking up strikeouts. Ranked 150-170 overall, some analysts see higher upside—if he can just refine his command. The Cubs believe their development staff can unlock his potential, turning him into a breakout steal if he learns to find the strike zone consistently.
