According to MLB.com, infielder Matt Shaw is the No.1 ranked Chicago Cubs prospect. The right-handed hitting Shaw, 23, has an excellent chance to break Cubs camp as part of the team’s 26-man roster. In fact, fangraphs.com lists Shaw as the Cubs starting third baseman, hitting 8th in the lineup.

"I’ve been preparing for this opportunity for my entire life," the 23-year-old Shaw said of making Chicago's travel roster.

Shaw is expected to make his major-league debut in the Tokyo Series. The Cubs will have to clear a 40-man-roster spot to activate him, but they don’t have to make any moves until just before Opening Day in Japan.
