Scouting Report

2024

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 30 | Arm: 45 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

Long hit 26 homers in three years at Long Beach State, four shy of school's career record held by Jeff Liefer. He has exceeded expectations since turning pro as a 2023 ninth-round pick, slashing .282/.393/.480 in his first two seasons and posting his best numbers yet after reaching Double-A in July.

Long is a fairly complete offensive player who creates solid raw power with his quick right-handed swing and strength. He does a nice job of working counts and using the entire field, and he can drive the ball out of the park to right field on occasion. He rarely chases pitches, makes consistent contact and does damage against both lefties and righties.

As a well-below-average runner with fringy arm strength, Long provides most of his value at the plate. Because right-handed-hitting first baseman is a tough prospect profile, the Cubs also tried him in left field and at third base in 2024. He's an average defender at first but substandard elsewhere.
