Seiya Suzuki

Too bad this one doesn't count for the regular season after Suzuki started out 0-for-8 in Japan. Both homers came off a rehabbing Austin Gomber. Suzuki projects as a top-30 fantasy outfielder this year, and he could come in a fair amount higher if Wrigley isn't as nasty for hitters as it was last season.

Check out the first strikeout of Roki Sasaki's MLB career when he got Seiya Suzuki swinging in the first inning.

Keito Mombetsu held the Cubs hitless for five innings before the bullpen took over. Former Phillies reliever Nick Nelson was also part of the shutout, throwing a scoreless sixth. The Cubs used a bullpen game in their first Japanese exhibition, with Julian Merryweather starting and no one throwing more than an inning. Michael Busch and Miguel Amaya had the other singles for the Cubs.

Suzuki steeled himself in preparation for the Tokyo Series between the Cubs and Dodgers

There simply isn't a spot for Alcantara in Chicago with Kyle Tucker, Ian Happ and Pete Crow-Armstrong locked into starting roles and Seiya Suzuki handling DH duty. The 22-year-old top prospect sipped a quick cup of coffee in the big leagues last year and should get an extended opportunity at some point in the near future after some additional seasoning at the Triple-A level.
