Look at the number of 40+ or higher graded prospects vs. other systems. Keep in mind they don't even list DJ Herz yet. This is a deep system but young. Some sites don't value youth as highly, which is fine.
—DHS1992 12/2/2021
@kennyesco21 Yeah man. They teenagers in the system might end up being the most exciting. Myrtle Beach roster will be stacked. Cassie looks legit too. DJ Herz is one of the best pitching prospects Cubs have ever had.

@parnellmichael @Prospects1500 I think most Cubs fans would tell you James Triantos, Owen Caissie, Kevin Alcantara and DJ Herz b4 Preciado (I see Hernandez is already taken). Some would even say Pinango and Made b4 him. But with so much to go b4 they have a shot at the bigs, it's probably a crap shoot anyway

The most fun I’ve had watching minor league baseball since Kris Bryant was in the system. Great year for the #Cubs development. All eyes on Triantos/Hernandez in 22, Kevin Made’s the real deal, DJ Herz should get top 100 consideration, and we won year 1 of the Darvish deal.

Am I crazy for suggesting DJ Herz is in the next tier of 2-3 Cubs prospects behind Brennen Davis in the "rankings". Bc every time I watch him pitch he just blows guys away. Like is it nuts to suggest Davis, Hernandez and Herz are CHC's three best?

#Cubs DJ Herz is a name to 👀📈 In 16 starts (60.1 IP) at Class A in 2021, the 20 y/o has a 3.58 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with a 100/36 K/BB and has held hitters to a weak .152 BA. Herz needs to cut down on his 15% BB%, but his 41.7% K% leads all 20 year olds in the minors (50+ IP) ⬇️ https://t.co/anLrt66JXd

@EricCross04 @RotoClegg any thoughts on DJ Herz in the Cubs Org? Some extremely nice strikeout numbers, wondering how legit he is, and if he’s gonna be a high riser. Thanks guys!

I’m too excited by the stat I share in this piece at BN not to re-print here. DJ Herz has the highest strikeout rate (41.7%) in the FanGraphs era (2006-2021) by a pitcher with 10 GS at an A-ball level. Whhhaaaaaaa?!?! (Query thanks to @FG_Prospects) https://t.co/K9kAMntunE
—Cubs Prospects - Bryan Smith 8/22/2021
DJ Herz man. Is this the most impressive start from a #Cubs pitching prospect? I don’t know about ever but at the very least in the Theo/Jed era. https://t.co/FfN1TgVnZa

Former Terry Sanford ace DJ Herz (@DavidjohnHerz) is scheduled to start on the mound for @Pelicanbaseball this evening. @WoodpeckersNC https://t.co/zx1ZKJWAsG
—Rodd Baxley 8/21/2021
DJ Herz is 20 years old. He is succeeding in his first full season of baseball and he showcases multiple above-average or better pitches. He is probably the most prominent example of the Cubs developing pitchers, but he's hardly the only one. Keep shoving DJ.
—Ivy Futures 8/19/2021
Q&A with Terry Sanford (@FTSATHLETICS) alum DJ Herz (@DavidjohnHerz). He talks @Pelicanbaseball, Austin Warren’s rise to the bigs, success and adversity, and returning to pitch in Fayetteville this week #run910 https://t.co/zx1ZKJWAsG
—Rodd Baxley 8/18/2021
As an example, FanGraphs list 62 prospects (35+ FV or better) on the Cubs' board (and DJ Herz, some other prospects followers of the Cubs system really like aren't even listed). Only the Rangers have more listed prospects. It's very deep; just a lot of unknown (but big upside).
—Matt Clapp 8/17/2021
Fun week ahead. A bunch of new teams (Myrtle Beach, Augusta, Bowling Green) come into the area for the first time all year. The theme continues next week, when Hudson Valley spends two series in the area. Hope to get looks at Taj Bradley, DJ Herz, Anthony Volpe and more.
—Josh Norris 8/17/2021
Very good night for the farm arms last night. I think DJ Herz is a sneaky top 10 guy next year. #Cubs
—John Stocco 8/15/2021
@JonathanMayo @MLBPipeline Which Cubs prospects not named Davis or Hernandez are likely to be in your next Top 100? What are the ceilings of Alex Canario, Nelson Velazquez and DJ Herz? How meaningful is OPSing .900+ as an 18-year-old in Complex ball (Preciado) or 1.100 as a 19-year-old (Caissie)?

DJ Herz was electric last night for Myrtle Beach 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 5 K, 1 BB According to DJ he averaged 94 MPH on the fastball and hit 96 twice. Dj worked hard in the offseason on both his mechanics and his offspeed. His changeup absolutely eats up hitters right now. https://t.co/J9HeYy5RXb

Big movers in BA's latest rankings! PCA on the cusp of the Top 100 overall, DJ Herz in the Cubs Top 10, Triantos/Kilian/Bain/Leeper all ranking on the list, and a few names to watch in the Rising column like Pablo Aliendo and Cayne Ueckert. This is a fun list from BA. https://t.co/wkepYltLkM

The Cubs' farm system is up to No. 8 on FanGraphs. That's while not including Nick Madrigal (who'd be their No. 2 prospect) and Codi Heuer due to graduating, and with guys like Caleb Kilian and DJ Herz not even listed among the 61 prospects (the 3rd-most prospects listed, too).
—Matt Clapp 8/3/2021
@Cubs_Commenter @cubprospects @IvyFutures @MilbCubs I'm excited about Caleb Kilian who they just got from the Giants. Ryan Jensen, DJ Herz took big steps forward this year. A lot of good arms are injured right now. Top two arms (Marquez and K. Franklin) haven't pitched yet this season. It's def an exciting time for Cubs system.

【Low-A Myrtle Beach】 Cubs 30th Prospect LHP DJ Herz Pitched 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 SO in today's game 💪🏻🔥 ERA 3.56 @DavidjohnHerz @Pelicanbaseball | #CubTogether https://t.co/FllK8lJCq5
—Cubs Prospects MiLB 8/1/2021
And keep in mind DJ Herz and Cam Sanders aren't even listed. So the list should really be 64 deep with Kilian. As it stands now, the Cubs 1 60 FV, 2 50 FVs, 3 45+ FVs, 8 45 FVs and 15 40+ FVs. That's 29 prospects graded 40+ or higher. That's a deep system. https://t.co/PbqaLVWEZZ
