Between Matt Shaw, Cade Horton and Moisés Ballesteros, the Chicago Cubs have seen a plethora of homegrown players put on a show in Triple-A this season.

While he’s not a big leaguer yet, Jonathon Long is quickly becoming the next exciting young player to watch in Iowa.

Long, whom Marquee Sports Network’s Lance Brozdowski named the Cubs’ No. 13 prospect, is slashing .344/.419/.561 (.980 OPS) this season with nine home runs and 41 RBI. Those numbers make the 23-year-old first baseman a top-three hitter in all of Triple-A, just above teammate Ballesteros, who had his first taste of The Show with a five-game stint earlier in May.

Long has displayed elite power hitting as of late, including his first multi-homer game of the year on May 30. His first of two solo shots was roped, coming off the bat at 111.6 mph and traveling 397 feet.

Long went deep again Sunday — this time with a gargantuan 453-foot blast to left-center field at 108.7 mph.

Putting a charge into the ball is what Long does — his hard-hit rate is 58.8 percent this season.

“Among Major Leaguers, only the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani and the Pirates’ Oneil Cruz have a better hard-hit rate,” MLB.com’s Ben Weinrib wrote of Long.

Though it’s early in the season, Long already is emerging as a serious star in Iowa — and people are beginning to take notice.

“He deserves attention because he has been so consistent at the Triple-A level,” Marquee Sports Network’s Elise Menaker said May 29 on “Road to Wrigley Live.” “We got glimpses of him in the spring, and credit to him for going out this season and just doing his thing.”

Long has been with the Cubs at spring training in each of the last two years. He had a quiet camp this year, going just 4-for-26 (.153) with five RBI in 14 games.

But in Triple-A, Long has found a groove unlike any other — which is why MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis followed Menaker’s praise last week with a bold prediction.

“I think that if the season ended today, he would be your Cubs Minor League Player of the Year,” Callis said. “That’s what he does — he just hits.”

The award Callis tapped Long for has been won by multiple of the Cubs’ aforementioned young stars. Ballesteros has taken the honor in back-to-back years, and Horton won the Pitcher of the Year in 2023.

It would be quite the recognition for someone who has flown under the radar in the way Long has.

The Cubs drafted Long, a three-year standout at Long Beach State, in the ninth round of the 2023 MLB Draft — 253 picks after they selected Shaw. Long signed for just $179,400, and now has quickly made his way through the Cubs’ system, going from Single-A to Triple-A in just a year’s time.

While Long’s offensive prowess has raised eyebrows, where he fits on the field remains a big question.

“It’s a tough profile — he’s a right-handed-hitting first baseman,” Callis said. “That’s part of the reason he went in the ninth round.”

Long also has played at third base and in the outfield in both his college and minor league careers. He played his first game in left field for Iowa on May 31, and made an impressive back-handed sliding catch.

Still, Callis believes first base — which Michael Busch occupies in Chicago — is where Long fits best. Elsewhere, Shaw has stepped up at third base, and the Cubs’ outfield of Ian Happ, Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker is one they’ll want to maintain.

“There’s really no place for him to play in the big leagues right now,” Callis said.

With the Cubs likely to be buyers by the July 31 trade deadline, Menaker hinted the team can shop him.

“I’m hearing value in the trade market,” Menaker said. “I hate to talk about him like that, but if he’s blocked …”

But as it stands, Long is in the Cubs’ system — and what he’s been able to do in such a short time would boost many MLB rosters.

“This is a guy who was a ninth-round pick two years ago,” Callis said. “He’s already raking in Triple-A , so there is some value there.”
