#Cubs farm system has a lot of big risers this year Prospect crush Cristian Hernandez is off to a solid start. DJ Herz needs a promotion after a dominant stretch at A+ Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kevin Alcantara have taken their game to the next level. Caleb Kilian solid too.
—Fantasy Baseball Plus 6/13/2022
5. DJ Herz - LHP (ETA: 2024) Herz has been absolutely unbelievable in his 11 starts for High-A South Bend this year. He possesses a true strike out pitch with his 65 grade changeup and in 40 innings has allowed just 2 HR (!!!) this year. Herz probably projects as a reliever. https://t.co/IbyVBxc0zT

Mid-week brain dump — • Unless Kantrovitz & Co go way off the map, we should be pleased with the Cubs first pick • It would have been irresponsible and incorrect for me to predict Chris Morel would do *this* • DJ Herz put together the most dominant start I’ve watched in years https://t.co/8PiYYL1RDu

Whenever I see a photo of Cubs prospect DJ Herz, what I see in my head is actor Jesse Plemons. Surely I'm not the only one making this mental error? https://t.co/pMAzfrH0Cr

Made the 4 hour drive to South Bend for a high A game. Nwogu, PCA & Caissie in the outfield w/Piñango as DH. DJ Herz is pitching. Denizens of the bullpen were running pass patterns before game time. https://t.co/pFb8iuZPXC

It's fairly rare to have a 21-year-old pitcher in AA that wasn't a top draft pick. At least it has been for the #Cubs. Don't look now, but they may have 2 of them in a couple months. DJ Herz, 8th round (2019) Manuel Espinoza, IFA $400,000 Bonus (2017)
—Kevin Will 6/2/2022
#Cubs LHP DJ Herz put on a clinic. The 21-year-old fired 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 12 K. The lefty has a 1.45 ERA, 0.86 WHIP & 53:17 K:BB in 37.1 IP in High-A. Above-average FB, ++ CH, average CB. Herz has been nearly unhittable (15 HA). Command is the missing link #ItsDifferentHere
—Michael Richards 6/2/2022
@IvyFutures Triantos, dj herz, and Kevin alcantara could all make their way on the list if they keep showing out as well. This is a deep Cubs farm system

I’ve got both the Myrtle Beach and South Bend games pulled up. Tyler Schlaffer works pretty quickly on the mound but DJ Herz is literally throwing 2 pitches for every 1 Schlaffer offering
