CHICAGO \u2013 Through the noise of the Wrigley Field crowd on Tuesday night, Cubs manager Craig Counsell could hear rookie Mois\u00e9s Ballesteros<\/a> shout as he took a pitch from hard-throwing Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering for a ball in a crucial moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe really locked in,\u201d Counsell said. \u201cYou heard him at one point say, \u2018No!\u2019<\/em>, to the pitch as it\u2019s coming in. That\u2019s cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After being down 0-2, Ballesteros went on to draw a bases-loaded walk \u2013 the first run of the night to spark a 7-4 win<\/a> \u2013 and clapped his hands hard and yelled in the direction of the Cubs\u2019 dugout as he flipped the bat away. He came off the bench as a pinch-hitter with two outs and the bags full in the fifth inning, and hardly looked like a 22-year-old rookie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In fact, Ballesteros has looked calm and under control since reaching the Major Leagues<\/a> last season. After the initial expected nerves of being in the big leagues, he has flashed the impressive offensive skills that helped him climb quickly up the organizational ladder. And he has continued to open eyes behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just a confident person, it seems like, in every way,\u201d Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner said. \u201cIn social settings or a team meeting or at the plate versus any kind of pitcher, he\u2019s just someone that just exudes a lot of confidence. He\u2019s not super loud about it or anything like that, but it seems like everything he does is with conviction and belief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThat\u2019s exactly what you want out of a player that\u2019s establishing themselves in the big leagues. A lot of us are really good at acting on the field, right? That\u2019s a part of it \u2013 presenting in a good way. But he\u2019s someone who really seems like he\u2019s living that out every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ballesteros has a knack for putting the bat on the ball (his 88.2% contact rate on pitches in the zone was only a tick below Alex Bregman\u2019s rate of 89.2%, entering Wednesday), but he combines that with an all-fields approach and power. Through his first 40 games in the Majors \u2013 20 last year and 20 this season \u2013 he has slashed .333\/.410\/.529 with a 173 OPS+<\/a> (73% above league average).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Those numbers make it easy to see Ballesteros\u2019 skills in the batter\u2019s box. What is less visible is how the confidence Hoerner cited shows up in other ways. Counsell noted how Ballesteros has been willing to speak up in pregame meetings when discussing game strategy for an opposing pitcher or team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThis is a group with a pretty high baseball IQ,\u201d Counsell said. \u201cAnd he\u2019s able to add to the conversation. And that\u2019s impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ballesteros credited the veterans on the team for creating an environment that allows younger players to have the confidence to join those discussions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI feel excited to be learning from all the players. And I feel the respect from the older players,\u201d Ballesteros said. \u201cI feel excited when older players ask me like, \u2018Hey, what would you do with this guy?\u2019 Here, it\u2019s more like a family. Every guy is together. Everyone \u2013 the veteran guys, the younger guys \u2013 they\u2019re meshing with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And it is easy for teammates to embrace a young player who shows he can handle a big moment \u2013 such as Tuesday\u2019s pinch-hit appearance in a raucous environment \u2013 with such a sense of calm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBally did something that\u2019s extremely difficult to do,\u201d Cubs first baseman Michael Busch said. \u201cComing off the bench, facing a leverage arm in that situation. He got down in the count. And then to be able to work a walk and drive in our first run, that\u2019s a very difficult thing to do. He\u2019s that<\/em> good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
