More talented hitters are on their way to the Northside.

Chicago Cubs prospect James Triantos was named the Arizona Fall League's Offensive Player of the Year, the league announced on Saturday.

Triantos raked in 22 games, hitting .417 with 35 hits, five triples, three homers, 15 RBIs, nine stolen bases and 12 walks.

“I expected to face good competition and that's exactly what I've done since being here,” he said to MILB.com. “It's been a lot of fun. It's been a great experience. Just being able to be around all these different guys from different teams, I’ve had nothing but fun since being here.”

He is the Cubs' No. 9 ranked prospect at the young age of only 20 and looks to be ready for Wrigley Field much earlier than most experts believed.
