THE BASICS

Home stadium: Sloan Park, 2330 W. Rio Salado Parkway, Mesa, AZ 85201 Directions: From the west: Take AZ 202 loop east to Exit 10 (Dobson Road). Proceed a half-mile to the parking lot entrances on the right-hand side. Information: 480-668-0500; Cubs.com/spring Prospect to watch: Eloy Jimenez, OF. Jimenez was one of the minor leagues’ biggest breakout stars in 2016, earning MVP honors in the low Class A Midwest League after batting .329 with 14 home runs. He is starting to tap into his raw tools; he combines excellent bat speed and handeye coordination to make consistent contact. A solid defender with a strong rightfield arm, the 20-year-old will head to advanced Class A. He is a non-roster invitee to spring training, so Cubs fans should be able to catch him in game action before he heads to the minors.
