2025 Signature Event: Underclass Premier
Cubbage has only spent a short time with the New Balance Future Stars Series — we first saw him at a Georgia Premier Academy Scout Day in April — but earned his way to Houston to the Underclass Combine, and did more than enough while there to make his first signature event roster. We’ll see the South Carolina-based 1B/RHP at the Underclass Premier in Hartford with the White squad, where he’ll likely be featured on both sides of the ball; Cubbage threw two pitches for strikes in Houston, but flashed with the bat as well, using a more physical frame that still has room to add to drive the ball from the right side of the plate.
