Scout’s note
A ninth-round pick born in Orange, California, Long has done nothing but hit in the Cubs system — .305 with 91 RBI at Iowa in 2025 — and still hasn't debuted. The exit velocity says the bat is ready; our board exists for exactly this kind of overlooked.
The Wire
▲ On the field: Fans and analysts praise Long's red-hot bat including a five-hit game and strong recent stretch at Triple-A Iowa.
