Jason Vosler

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Chicago Cubs #25 prospect in 2018
  A three-year starter at shortstop for Northeastern, Vosler hit only one home run as a junior, dropping his draft stock. The Cubs picked him up in the 16th round and moved him quickly to third base. Vosler finally came into the power for his new position in 2017, tying for second in the Double-A Southern League with 21 homers for Tennessee. He set career highs for on-base percentage (.343) and slugging (.429), aided by some adjustments to his offensive approach. He's closer to the plate, changed his swing path to add more loft and traded some strikeouts for power. Vosler's swing remains somewhat rotational, but his path to the ball is shorter, and he's athletic enough to repeat his swing. Power is Vosler's best tool; he's average or fringy as a runner and defender, with an average arm. He doesn't have the bat speed or barrel feel to be an above-average hitter, and he struggles with big velocity. Vosler profiles as a second-division regular and should move up to Triple-A in 2018.
