My Take

Michael Busch is one of those quietly exciting young players who slipped under the radar until suddenly he wasn't. A product of the loaded University of North Carolina program, he came up through the Dodgers system and made his MLB debut in 2023 — which, given how stacked that roster is, tells you something right there. Then the Cubs came calling, and he's been one of the more pleasant surprises at first base in Chicago, showing real power and a patient approach at the plate. Minnesota kid, Scorpio energy, and the kind of steady, professional game that doesn't always grab headlines but earns you a long career. I'm genuinely curious to see how far he takes it — the tools are there, and he's only getting started.
